== Browsing and editing Smalltalk code == In traditional [[object-oriented programming]] environments a developer directly edits a plain text [[source code]] file containing [[Class library|class]] and [[Method (computer science)|method]] definitions. In VisualWorks, like all Smalltalks, everything is an [[Executable|executing object]], including classes. In browsing Smalltalk classes the developer gleans definitions from executing objects. The main browser/editor in VisualWorks is the System Browser. It allows the developer to browse classes either in the overall class hierarchy or through their packages. It is launched from the VisualWorks Launcher. List panes in the System Browser allow developers to navigate to class and method definitions. They can then be viewed or edited in a code view, or modified with a new definitions.
