Smalltalk Solutions 2004 Seattle
Seattle Hosts Successful Smalltalk Solutions
Cary,
North Carolina, May 14, 2004 -- The Smalltalk Industry Council (STIC)
is happy to announce that this year's Smalltalk Solutions in beautiful
Seattle was a rousing success. Smalltalkers of all ages and abilities
from throughout the world descended upon the Seattle conference
to experience the rich variety of talks and presentations that were
offered. The hotel buzzed with conversation as colleagues both old
and new traded ideas, shared their experiences and debated throughout
the three-day conference. The Council would like to thank all the
presenters and attendees who helped make the show one of the best
ever.
The presentations, tutorials, and BOF's were a big hit and offered
a little something for everyone at the show. Attendees selected
from a wealth of choices from pension-plan management and emergency-services
dispatch to internet syndication and garbage collection. The talks
generated much interest among the conference-goers with many conversations
making their way out of the classrooms to the exhibit hall where
others could enjoy and join in.
It was standing room only when the conference keynote speakers took
the floor. George Bosworth of Microsoft discussed Smalltalk and
CLR virtual machines. Former Hotspot architect Lars Bak discussed
Smalltalk for very small embedded devices. And Seaside inventor
Avi Bryant talked about Smalltalk's role in redefining web development.
STIC would like to publicly thank the keynote speakers for the wonderful
job they did in informing and enlightening the conference on such
exciting topics.
