HOP: Multidialect Object Persistency framework presentation Giorgio Ferraris: Elevensoft Wednesday 10:30:00 am to 12:00:00 pm
Abstract: HOP is a persistency framework for various smalltalk dialects (VW, VSE, Dolphin, VA) with a high level of functionality. The framework's development started in the early '90s, and now it's used in hundreds of applications at several customer sites. We are now releasing a free, non commercial version, so this presentation will be a tutorial on the framework's use.
The presentation, with the help of some PowerPoint slide, will demonstrate the use of HOP in the development of a small application, with the definition of classes and the corresponding relational infrastructure for the persistency of objects. To demonstrate the feature of the framework, a small business model based on an Order will be defined.
To demonstrate the data base independence of the resulting structure, a MySql and a Dbase or SQLServer relational data base will be used for persistency.
