Dan Ingalls Keynote

by Richard Kenneth Eng

https://youtu.be/G0aZ1wn_Yxg Please note: Of all the recorded talks at Camp Smalltalk Supreme, Dan Ingalls' talk was the *only *one whose audio track Audacity couldn't amplify very much *without clipping*. I have no idea why — I'm not an audio engineer. So, the amount of amplification is quite modest. However, I did reduce background noise so that you can crank the volume way up on your computer to max. Then you can hear Dan fairly easily. Sorry for the inconvenience. Cheers, Richard

I've successfully published the first CSS video!

by Richard Kenneth Eng

https://youtu.be/CatwPtXoJbU The rest of the videos will follow later this week. Please like the video and *subscribe to the channel* (including the rest of your company). This helps the Google algorithm recommend these videos to everyone. The numbers of likes and subscribers matter a great deal. This is how YouTube works to gain viewership. Let's make "Smalltalk Renaissance — 50 Years of Smalltalk" a hit YouTube channel! Otherwise, my Smalltalk advocacy via CSS will stall. Thanks, Richard P.S. — *Unlike nearly all other YouTube videos*, I won't include a plea to like and subscribe within these videos. That would be too unprofessional.

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting: Smalltalk and Self hardware - 29 June 2022

by Giovanni Corriga

For our June meeting, Merik Voswinkel will give us a presentation on Smalltalk and Self hardware with a focus on manycore parallelism and distributed computing. This follows from Jecel Assumpcao Jr's SiliconSqueak presentation at the California Smalltalkers meetup ( https://youtu.be/CfYnzVxdwZE ). Merik will bring us on a tour past 50 years of late bound message passing Smalltalk VMs, Smalltalk RISC processors, David Ungar’s RoarVM, adaptive compilers, concurrent aggregates, clone-reduce, a processor per object, FPGA’s, Morphle Logic, Croquet and Teatime , Wafer Scale Integration, hundred (M1 Ultra), thousands and million cores ASICs, Cuniform, Matroshca Brains and much more in our tourney towards the Wayne Gretzky invention game of inventing the future. If there is time we’ll go burning the Smalltalk disk packs, the intergalactic network GUI and the destiny of computers as intellectual amplifiers for humans pervasively networked worldwide and how we are going to communicate with Aliens. Merik Voswinkel is an independent scientist who build his first transputer supercomputer for Smalltalk after the Byte 1981 Smalltalk issue, build one of the first internet providers, works on SiliconSqueak, wafer scale integrations and Enernet energy computing. This will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up on the Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/ukstug/events/286314641/ ).

by stephane ducasse

Hi Happy Smalltalkers Two important points - We are starting to work on the program of ESUG 2022 and we will accept some more talks but do not wait too long. https://esug.github.io/2022-Conference/call2022.html <https://esug.github.io/2022-Conference/call2022.html> - The registration is open and the early rate is nicer than the late one :) https://registration.esug.org <https://registration.esug.org/> But you can sponsor ESUG by registering with late fees from 6th of July. But this is more expensive. S

UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday, May 25th

by Giovanni Corriga

For our May meeting, Object Guild's Jonathan van Alteren and Erik Stel will give us a preview of Expressive Systems. Expressive Systems is a framework inspired by Richard Pawson's work on Naked Objects ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_objects ). It allows Object Guild to rapidly develop flexible applications by focusing on the design of behaviorally complete objects in the business domain. By using a novel web application architecture based on CodeParadise ( https://github.com/ErikOnBike/CodeParadise ), it allows direct manipulation of business objects by the user. The goal of the framework is to better support problem solving activities and to empower users by giving them a first-person experience. The framework is currently in a (private) alpha phase of development. There are plans to open source the framework in the future. Jonathan has been developing business applications for various Dutch companies since 2001, in roles varying from programmer to solution architect. In 2018, he got hooked on Pharo/Smalltalk and never looked back. Erik has developed both technical as well as business applications in a variety of areas using a broad range of technologies. He’s been a Smalltalk addict since using VisualAge in the late 1990’s. This will be a hybrid meetup where we'll connect to Zoom from the The City Pride pub ( https://goo.gl/maps/gxiuohY8z5CvA7wr5 ). If you'd like to join us either via Zoom or in person, please sign up on the Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/285546604/ ).
