UKSTUG meeting - Christoph Thiede / Guille Amaral - Wed 27 Nov @ 7pm GMT

by UK Smalltalk

Join us on *Wednesday 27th November at 7pm* for an engaging double presentation on innovative advancements in Smalltalk programming: 1. *SemanticText: Improving Exploratory Programming in Squeak with Generative AI* Presenter: *Christoph Thiede *(starts at 7.15pm) >From autocomplete to conversational agents, AI is transforming how we interact with code. Christoph will introduce SemanticText, a framework that integrates large language models (LLMs) into Squeak/Smalltalk, enabling conversational agents, semantic search tools, and retrieval-augmented generation workflows. He will showcase experimental integrations with Squeak’s tools and present the concept of a semantic exploratory programming system for debugging and exploring systems using natural language. Bio: Christoph Thiede is a member of *HPI*’s Software Architecture Group and a core developer of Squeak/Smalltalk, with a focus on enhancing developer productivity and tools. 2. *Webside*: A Unified HTTP API for Smalltalk Presenter: *Guillermo Amaral* (starts at 8.30pm) Guillermo will discuss Webside, an API that standardizes communication with Smalltalk systems via HTTP and introduces its application as a fully operational IDE. He will highlight recent improvements in its extensibility and functionality. Bio: Guillermo Amaral is the creator of Webside and has been a passionate Smalltalk user and advocate for over 20 years, leveraging it throughout his academic and professional journey. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore groundbreaking ideas and engage in discussions on the future of Smalltalk development! --- [:kind | 'Regards from ', kind ] value: 'The UK Smalltalk User Group'

Bernard Pottier

by loic lagadec

Dear colleagues and friends, It is with great sadness that we learned earlier this week of the passing of Bernard Pottier. Bernard was a remarkable figure and a passionate advocate of Smalltalk. He contributed to the creation of the Computer Science department at the University of Western Brittany in the 1980s, where he trained a large number of young students in programming and object modeling. In research as well, his involvement in the Smalltalk community was significant; for example, he was behind the first organization of the ESUG summer school in Brest in 1993. A tribute will be paid to him on Thursday, November 7th.
