Smalltalk Solutions 2006 is coming up fast - speakers have to get their presentations in by the 15th of this month, and the first day of the show is April 24. Go register now, so you can attend presentations like "I have Nothing to Declare but my Genius" from Brian Foote:

With mainstream language design mired in ennui and retreating into formalism, the field has been effectively ceded to a ragtag, de-facto coalition of old-school dynamic stalwarts, scripting language designers, and ad-hoc domain specific API architects. A generation of research in this area can be distilled down into three overarching ideas, the rest is filigree. This talk will explore these ideas, examine how and why these currents are converging, and show why the large scale, dispersed, heterogeneous, polyglot world of 21st century computing demands nothing less than this degree of commitment to dynamism.

See you in Toronto!
