The NYC Smalltalk User's Group will be holding their next meeting
this
upcoming Monday June 3rd, 2002. For directions please go to:

http://www.ocit.com/stug/gettingstarted.html

Presentation:

The prototype for CodeRunner was first shown at this past Smalltalk
Solutions by Cincom. CodeRunner allows for the dynamic loading and
running of remote parcels. I have extended CodeRunner so that pre-
reqs
to said parcel are also loaded from the remote location, as well as
the loading of supporting non-code resources i.e. such as images, ini
files etc i.e. a parcel can specify as a property an array of paths
to
said supporting resources.

Additionaly other components such as mp3 files, pdfs etc can be
registered for download.

Our meetings are opened to the general public.

thanks

Subject:  Next NY City SPIN meeting - April 2nd., on
eXtreme Programming


The next meeting of the NY City SPIN will be on April
2nd. at
Citicorp's 53rd. St and Lexington Ave. building. Our
topic will be
Extreme Programming, usually referred to as XP. This
is a brand
new topic for the SPIN, and promises to be full of
interest, and a
little controversy. Our guest speaker will be Bob
Martin, one of the
leaders of the XP movement. My take on this topic is
that it will
give us an opportunity to look at the software
development lifecycle
from a completely new vantage point. I look forward to
seeing you
on April 2nd.

Tony Hutchings
NY City SPIN Chair

Date:   Tuesday, April 2nd., 2002
Time:   5:30PM - 7:30PM
Location:  Citicorp's facility at 53rd. St. &
Lexington Ave.

- Please check for room & sign in at the security desk
as you enter the building and allow sufficient time
since there will be additional security checks

       AGENDA
        5:30 - 6:00pm Registration, networking
        6:00 - 6:15pm CitySPIN progress and upcoming
events
        6:15 - 7:00pm Presentation:
        eXtreme Programming - Bob Martin, guest speaker
        7:00 - 7:30pm    Q & A, more networking

Abstract of the talk:

XP vs. RUP
It is often said that XP and RUP are opposites.  The
truth is that there are some very strong similarities
between the two processes; an RUP house can adopt a
number of XP practices without giving up RUP.  This
talk compares and contrasts XP and RUP, and discusses
how projects can be done using the best of both
worlds.

Speaker's Biography:

since 1970.  He is president of Object Mentor Inc., a
team of experienced trainers, mentors, and consultants

Members:

This year at SS 2002 I will be reviewing JXTA a set of peer to peer
protocols and discussing the implemenation of Smalltalk bindings to
JXTA.

I have started an open-source project under the JXTA.ORG umbrella and
would like to invite those interested in this technology and in the
potential beneficial impact that it will have on Smalltalk to
participate.  Please read on for further info:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
You have been invited to participate at some level in the open source
JXTA project entitled SmalltalkJxta. The purpose of the project is to
build a core Smalltalk implementation of the JXTA protocols.

Check our project out at:
http://smalltalkjxta.jxta.org/servlets/ProjectHome

Why a Smalltalk implementation of the JXTA protocols?

Peer to peer computing is the next stage in the evolution of
computing and it is already here. Naptster, Gnutella, Jabber and
Freenet are the first examples of P2P in some form. JXTA is an effort
spearheaded by SUN to generalize and standardize the P2P space. The
benefits of a Smalltalk implementation are obvious -
interoperability. Smalltalk applications will be able to talk to any
application implemented in Java or for that matter any language that
speaks the "JXTA lingo". This of course includes any of the Smalltalk
dialects as well.

Why have you been invited?

You work for a language vendor.
You understand the Peer to Peer or distributed application space.
You are known to have contributed to Smalltalk in the past.
You are known to be a knowledgeable Smalltalker.
You are known to have project organizational skills.
You are known to have great design ideas.
You are interested in promoting Smalltalk.
You are interested in promoting JXTA.
All of the above.

How can you contribute to this project?

Code of course. Coding includes not only the core and services layer
but also applications.

Other contributions would include:

Test beyond the Sunits because of course we write those first.
Document
Build tutorials.
Review implementation.
Coordinate a CampSmalltalk effort.
Coordinate a specific dialect effort.
Help organize the overall effort.
Provide access to a source code repository and other resources.
Influence your companies to pay attention to this effort.
Participate in a discussion of this issue perhaps at the Opentalk bof
at Smalltalk Solutions 2002.

Thank you for your time. Any comments can be mailed to me:

I agree and feel we should determine how much money is needed per year and if
we do not get enough from 45 per member, those of us who want to ensure its
continuation should give more if possible. Can we get non-profit status?

As many may know IBM has due to the current economic conditions
discontinued our sponsorship as well other sigs including the
C++/Java sig. We have been lucky in that we have tentatively secured
a meeting location as well as locked in a good evening in the month
for our presentations. However, our long term viability is contingent
on us recruiting a solid membership for our SIG under our new
sponsors NYPC which btw is a non-profit organization and relies on
membership dues to pay the rent etc.

Our open admissions policy to our meetings will remain as it always
has i.e. nobody will be turned away. However, I am asking our
local "regulars" as well as anybody that believes that it is
important to continue promoting Smalltalk in New York City to support
our efforts by joining the NYPC under the "Smalltalk SIG" category.
Membership is $45.00 for a year and all of the proceeds go to the
NYPC directly. Corporate sponsorships would be of great assistance
and any organizations wishing to sponsor us should email me at:

charles@...

Individual membership application can be found at:
www.ocit.com/stug/membershipapp.pdf.

Frankly, the only way that we will be able to continue our efforts in
promoting Smalltalk in the NYC area is by being supported by the
community.

I have integrated Tsunami into Cincom's new Web Tool Kit offering
which among other things provides a Servlet and JSP spec compliant
implementation in VisualWorks.

Tsunami provides the following value:

One can develop presentation using standard html editors and IDE's

Guarantees (not simply promotes) separation of presentation from
business logic

Does not require the creation of tags by the developer i.e. tags in
Tsunami correspond to presentation components and therefore the only
time a new tag would be required is to a handle the new "widget"

Allows for rapid prototyping using VisualWorks's GUI Painter

Allows for multiple presentations on the same model

Additional presentation components are provided

Provides for Flash integration

Provides easy hook into DHTML goodies such as drop down menus to
trigger action on presentation manager

Provides for upfront field validation

Provides for local JS access to presentation components

Provides for WML support

and more ...

Tsunami was first presented at Smalltalk Solutions last yerar. It
will be demoed at the Cincom booth all day both Tuesday and Wednesday
at OOPSLA.

with respects to debugging and ease of use. The Web Tool Kit also
allows for an ASP based approach to web development.

Alan Knight works at Cincom Systems on VisualWorks web development and
is the lead architect on the soon to be released Web Tool Kit. Prior
to that he was with The Object People for many years, most recently as
lead architect for the TOPLink family of object-relational mapping

One of our members passed this along. Under the circumstances I think
that it is appropriate to pass this on to our membership and let
folks do what is in their hearts to do.

Friday Night at 7:00 p.m. step out your door, stop your car, or step

that
Americans are strong and united together against terrorism.  Please

United States quickly.

The message:  WE STAND UNITED - WE WILL NOT TOLERATE TERRORISM!

Thank you.

with respects to debugging and ease of use. The Web Tool Kit also
