Hi Friends please distribute that widely
I will give a free lecture
Discovering Smalltalk
Smalltalk is a pure and elegant object language. This lectures will cover the
fundamental aspects of Smalltalk:
syntax, semantics, and key aspects of the system. Doing so we will also revise
the real semantics of self/super.
We will show the power of polymorphism in action by simply learning from the
system. Finally we will go into
more design aspect again based on the systems. As a bonus we will start the
lecture with a 15 min presentation
of Seaside a powerful web framework for dynamic web application.
This lecture may be followed by a lecture on more advanced object-oriented
design:
law of demeter, encapsulation, multiple interface of classes,
composition vs. inheritance
Starting time: 9h30
Closing: 16h00

Bio: He is expert in object-oriented language design, dynamic languages,
reflective programming, language semantics as well as reengineering, program
analysis,
visualizations, software metrics. Recently he worked on traits, composable
method groups, and this work got some impact. Traits have been introduced
AmbiantTalk,
Pharo, Perl-6, PHP 5.4 and Squeak. They influenced Scala and Fortress SUN
Microsystems. Stephane is one of the developer of Pharo
(http://www.pharo.project.org/)
an open-source language inspired by Smalltalk. He is one of the core developer
of Moose, an open-source reengineering environment (http://moose.unibe.ch/).
He is the president of the European Smalltalk User Group and organize a
yearly international conference on Smalltalk. He wrote a couple of fun books
to teach
programming and other serious topics such as dynamic web development
(http://book.seaside.st).
