Andy Bower of Object-Arts has a video that simply must be seen: creating an interface to iTunes.
I've been very impressed by many Smalltalk podcasts, but this tops them all. Of course to misquote Oscar Peterson, the best improvisations are the best prepared; Andy makes this look so easy. But having seen this done once, it's hard to imagine not being able to make a very few notes and then be able to do much the same for any ActiveX COM object of interest with this AX Interface Wizard.
It has been a pleasure to build software in Dolphin Smalltalk, so I was glad to learn that there will be a Next Generation version of the Object Arts Smalltalk for Windows.
There is a non-commercial, public version of Dolphin available, so if Windows is your target OS and you want a high-productivity programming environment, you could not go too far wrong trying Dolphin 6.0
