Squeak Tools
presentation
Colin Putney: independent consultant
Wednesday 4:45:00 pm to 5:30:00 pm
Abstract: Squeak has come a long way in the last couple of years, and armed with improved tools and infrastructure, the community is progressing more rapidly than ever. This presentation will examine the new breed of Squeak development tools - PackageInfo, SqueakMap, Monticello, OmniBrowser and SqueakSource - and the technical and social issues that shape them. We'll also have a look under the hood with Monticello and OmniBrowser, a development environment well suited for the curious intersection of traditional Smalltalk philosophy and the new culture of OpenSource software.
Bio: Colin Putney is an independent consultant with a background in media, information systems and project management. He has worked in print media, television, the travel industry and international conservation. He was first introduced to Smalltalk several years ago and has never looked back.
