Pollock : Into The Breach
presentation
Sames Shuster: Cincom
Tuesday 9:15:00 am to 10:00:00 am

Abstract: Now that Pollock, VisualWorks new GUI framework, is about to come out of Beta and into Production, it's time you learn what it does for you. In this presentation, we will demonstrate the capabilities of the Pollock framework, and how, even in it's first Production release, it surpasses the current framework capabilities. We'll present an overview the future migration and translation tools which will take most of your existing current framework code and move them to Pollock. We will be present the short term and long term roadmaps for the VisualWorks GUI. Finally, time at the end will be devoted to answering questions and addressing any concerns that Pollock somehow represents a disruptive technology change.

Bio: Samuel S. Shuster is the GUI Project Lead in the VisualWorks Engineering Team. After almost four years of thinking about, designing and working on Pollock, he is thrilled that the light at the end of the tunnel is so close at hand. So much so that he actually is making plans to take is first real vacation in almost 10 years... However, he hasn't as yet decided if he'll take his portable with him.

See you in Seattle!
