I went to the Al DiMeola concert in Manhattan last nite. DiMeola has a new album and its great. Its called Consequence of Chaos and its available certainly at Amazon’s but also at Telearc the publisher.
I blogged about my experience at the show here.
Mark Pirogovsky, a frequent visitor to NYC Smalltalk , will provide us with a presentation on his experiences building shrink wrapped Smalltalk applications. He has actually worked on three large shrink wrapped ST apps.
He will specifically be using his current application as an example.

Abstract
This presentation describes an approach to the coding
contest at Smalltalk Solutions 2006. Many deep abstraction techniques
are put to use to deliver a framework of expression that is extremely
easy to change and maintain. Part playing video games and part
introspective, this strategy was awarded first place in Toronto.
