I’ll be attending the BlockCamp the coming Saturday in Paris, a joint event between Smalltalk and Ruby. I am prepared to give 3 short presentations:
- Seaside is the framework for developing sophisticated web applications in Smalltalk. This can be either a short introductions into core features of Seaside, or a demo of the new features in the upcoming Seaside 3.0 release.
- PetitParser is a novel parser framework for Smalltalk (and Javascript). It embraces object-oriented design practices (composition, reuse) and combines several existing parser technologies (scannerless parsers, parser combinators, parsing expression grammars, packrat parsers) picking the best parts of each.
- Helvetia is a lightweight approach to embed new languages into a host language and the existing tools. This talk is for people interested into language models, language transformations, and tool integration.
I would like to thank ESUG for sponsoring my trip to Paris. I’ll be around Friday evening, so drop me a line if you’re in Paris and want to meet up. Hope to see you in Paris!
I will be giving another Seaside presentation Monday, April 28, at the Arbeitskreis Objekttechnologie Norddeutschland in Hamburg, Germany. The talk will start with a short introduction to Seaside and present some of the key features that can’t be found in any other web framework. Furthermore I will present the advantages of using Seaside in the context of several industrial projects. The talk will be in English, even if the summary is in German. Hope to see you there.
James Robertson put the video of my (german) talk at OOP 2008 online. There is also an audio version available. The talk is entitled Seaside — Web development as you like it and it is definitely not the same I gave last year at ESUG. They are both about Seaside though.
I was invited to give a talk about Seaside Wednesday, January 23rd at OOP in Munich, Germany. My presentation is scheduled as part of a special event called Experience Smalltalk at the Seaside. You find some more information on the website of the conference in english or german. Among other things, I will be talking about why Seaside is secure by default. Hope to see you there.
The CHOOSE Forum 2007 at the Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz, in Brugg, Switzerland was very interesting. The topic was Languages for the Web and there were presentations and tutorials about OpenLaszlo, Google Web Toolkit, Ruby on Rails, and – I was an invited speaker – Seaside.
