DESCRIPTION:Sure\, Smalltalk is where we got our modern view of windows a
 nd mice and &quot\;the&#13\;\ndesktop&quot\; and object-oriented program
 ming and extreme programming two decades&#13\;\nago\, but what has Small
 talk done for us *lately*?&#13\;\n&#13\;\nI'll answer this by showing of
 f the Seaside web application framework: an&#13\;\nopen-source (but vend
 or supported) challenge to the classic web design&#13\;\nstrategies.  Im
 agine being able to debug a broken web-hit in the middle of&#13\;\nthe&#
 13\;\nhit\, fixing the code\, and continuing before the browser knows th
 at something&#13\;\nwent wrong.  Imagine being able to re-use control fl
 ows and web components&#13\;\nwith the ease of OO programming.  Imagine 
 being able to do test-driven&#13\;\ndevelopment\, even for HTML delivery
 .  Imagine taking an application from&#13\;\n&quot\;three guys in Starbu
 cks on a laptop&quot\; to &quot\;3000 hits per second on your Amazon&#13
 \;\nEC2 cloud&quot\; with no major changes in design.  No need to imagin
 e... I'll&#13\;\ndemonstrate all this and more.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nSmalltalk
  knowledge is not required: I'll start with a brief overview of&#13\;\nS
 malltalk using Squeak\, the free implementation that's even included in 
 the&#13\;\nOLPC XO.  General knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming ba
 sics would be&#13\;\nhelpful\, though.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nPlease note that t
 his talk is a work in progress... this presentation is a&#13\;\nrehearsa
 l for the actual delivery in mid-April in Brazil at FISL 2008.  Some&#13
 \;\nparts are still a bit rough.&#13\;\n\n\nImported from: http://calaga
