Hi Dan,
You made me very happy when you made it to my talk on Thursday. It
was impossible for me to present a new paradigm in less than 30
minutes, but I hope I triggered your curiosity.
I think your best next step would be to read my article on the DCI
Execution model
http://fulloo.info/Documents/DCIExecutionModel-2.1.pdf
(I hope you will put me right where I have
misunderstood something.)
The simplest possible example that illustrates the DCI concepts is
BB5BankTransfer.
You can run it and browse its code in my current DCI Squeak image
http://fulloo.info/Downloads/BabyIDE-3.zip
It would be great if we could do serious work on a realization of
the Dynabook dream together. Pharo may be a good starting point
because its community seems very open to new ideas.
Cheers

PS.
The BabyIDE is an application browser rather than a class
browser. There is a kind of user manual embedded in this old
article

PPS.
I stick to a very old image because I cannot as yet file out DCI
Contexts and role methods. Bootstrap to a better image is
therefore impracticable.
