Dolphin Community Edition is our Smalltalk development environment that is totally free for personal/educational use. You'll find that it is a complete tool for either learning Smalltalk programming or for creating your own personal Windows-based applications. It has a great, slick, user interface that we've tried to make as easy to use as possible, thus complementing the dynamic nature you'd expect from Smalltalk.

This is the first-time since Dolphin 2.1 that we have had a completely free version in our product range. We originally withdrew the 2.1 edition because we felt its user interface had fallen behind that of our commercial versions and, overall, we felt that it was a poor advertisement for our products. Now, however, with Dolphin Community Edition X6, we have a completely up-to-date version of Dolphin that we are placing into the hands of the community to widen the acceptance of Smalltalk still further.

The Best Ever

The Community Edition has the cool new look of Dolphin X6 and features a greatly expanded class library compared with the previous free versions.

For example, you now get Sockets and Database connectivity available as standard and, when you think you've exhausted the potential of this version, there's plenty more to discover by upgrading to its big brother, Dolphin X6 Professional.
