There will be an advanced topic talk tomorrow (Wed) on Squeak Smalltalk. For those of you who think you know Object Oriented Programming, but have never used SmallTalk, this a a good intro. For those who wonder what the biggest deal is about OOP, this is also a good intro. For those who know more than Ken, and want to challenge him, you have to wait 15 minutes.... The talk will be all demo -- no slides! Squeak is a Smalltalk development system which is free and runs on most computers. Ken Dickey will give a live demo of the Squeak system, starting at the 20,000 foot view (cool eToys) then getting into how Smalltalk development works and down into the 1 foot level (like what happens when you drop into the debugger). Ken spend 5 years at Tektronix, 7 years at Apple, and more recently was CTO of a startup in Sydney Australia <href="http://home.earthlink.net/~kend0/ExtremeSuccess.html">. Meeting is at 7:00 pm at It's a Beautiful Pizza on Belmont Directions: East on Belmont to Zupan's Grocery, then find a place to park other than Zupan's lot. Pizza is two doors east of Zupan's, on the North side of the street. (They may be on the south side of the street; they are moving, but have promised that there will be space for us to meet in.) BUS: #15 http://www.tri-met.org/schedule/r015.htm Belmont 10 frequency (east/west) 3:30 to 6:30. 15 frequency (east/west) 6:30 to 9:00. 30 frequency (east/west) 9:00 to 12:00. BUS: #75 http://www.tri-met.org/schedule/r075.htm 39th ?? frequency (north/south) <5 blocks east> If you cross the Morrison Bridge Eastbound, you land on Belmont, continue straight about 30 blocks. Parking is at a premium for those who drive. The place will be on your left just past Zupan's. The 'sign' is a yellow banner hanging from the wall above the awning, and pretty hard to read at nite. Belmont is one block south of Morrison, 5 blocks south of Stark, 10 blocks south of Burnside; and 6 blocks north of Hawthorne. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&address=3341+SE+Belmont&city=Por+tland&state=OR&zipcode=&homesubmit.x=27&homesubmit.y=12 -- Zot O'Connor http://www.ZotConsulting.com http://www.WhiteKnightHackers.com
