A message is a request sent from one object to another to perform an action. It consists of a receiver, selector, and arguments. The receiver is the object receiving the message. The selector identifies the method to be called. Methods are defined by specifying the selector, arguments, and method body. Classes are defined by specifying the superclass, instance variables, and methods. Everything in Smalltalk is an object that communicates through message passing.
1. The Smalltalk runtime architecture consists of a virtual machine, image, and changes/sources. The image contains bytecode and sources/changes contain code text.
2. All changes are recorded so developers should have change recovery tools to avoid losing code. Code is not stored in source files but in the image and changes.
3. For deployment, the image is stripped of development components like sources/changes leaving just bytecode to be run on the virtual machine.
This document discusses the history and concepts of the Smalltalk programming language. Smalltalk was developed in the 1970s and was highly influential as one of the earliest object-oriented languages.

Smalltalk also introduced fundamental concepts like classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and dynamic typing.
The document provides an introduction to the Smalltalk programming language, describing its origins at Xerox PARC in the 1970s, key concepts such as everything being an object and the use of images, and concluding with recommendations for further reading on Smalltalk.
