The next Toronto Smalltalk User Group meeting is Monday, Feb. 4, at
6:30
---
James Foster of GemStone will present 'GLASS: Transparent Persistence
for Seaside'.

While the Seaside framework elegantly addresses HTML generation and
application flow-of-control issues, it still leaves challenges for the
developer--including persistence, multi-user coordination, and
scaling. With typical solutions (including object-relational mapping,
external files, and multiple images) the "pure objects" experience of
Smalltalk is compromised. In this presentation we will demonstrate
GLASS (GemStone, Linux, Apache, Seaside, and Smalltalk), a stack
(analogous to LAMP) that provides a robust environment for deploying
sophisticated, dynamic web applications that can scale.

GLASS runs on GemStone/S 64 Bit, a Smalltalk application server and
database, whose Web Edition is available for free--even for commercial
use. Copies of the software will be available at the meeting.

James Foster is QA Lead on the Smalltalk Engineering Team at GemStone
Systems, Inc.
