 ===== AmbientTalk =====

+{{:at:qtek_small.png|:at:qtek_small.png }} AmbientTalk is a contemporary distributed programming language. It is an ambient-oriented programming language, which means that it is particularly geared towards developing next-generation distributed software which has to run on mobile devices (such as cellular phones or PDAs) deployed on open, ad hoc wireless networks. At its core, AmbientTalk uses a prototype-based object model for building abstractions. Its distribution and concurrency facilities are heavily inspired by the actor model. Current implementations are available for the Java J2SE and J2ME (PocketPC) platforms.

 [[ambienttalk.jar]] Contains the core of the AmbientTalk evaluator, which interprets the AmbientTalk language.
 [[ambienttalkdt.jar]] Contains the J2SE Swing interface for running AmbientTalk on a desktop machine.
 Once both files are downloaded into a single directory on your machine you may simply run java -jar ambienttalkdt.jar (Or typically you may also double-click on this JAR file)

 [[ambienttalkppc.jar]] Contains the J2ME AWT interface for running AmbientTalk on a PDA. (Note that this version may be tested as well on a desktop machine, since no native GUI components are used)
 Once both files are downloaded, transfer them to your device and launch the PocketPC frontend. Using the J9 virtual machine the following shortcut is needed :
