Topic:

This meeting is opened to the general public.

Charles Monteiro will lead a discussion comparing a typical
implementation of the Proxy pattern in Smalltalk to analogous
implementation in Java.
Demonstrations will use VisualWorks Smalltalk and IBM VisualAge for Java
. Discussion will also illustrate how certain inherent functionality to
Smalltalk facilitates the creation and use of proxies in Smalltalk.
Pro's and con's for both language implementations will be explained.

Time and schedule conflict permitting , Steve Roffman (PocketST team
lead) will continue his discussion on PocketST and the recent port of
the environment to Squeak. We will discuss the use of the PocketST
environment in Squeak as a platform for our pending PocketST projects.

Meeting will be held from 6:30 to: 8:30 pm , Thursday July 20th, 2000
at IBM Headquarters at 590 Madison (corner of 58 and Madison).

We welcome any suggestions or participants for future discussions.

thanks
