[ANN] Zürich Smalltalk Meetup Nov 8th, 2016

We’ve found a conference room for the evening and will start off with a “show us your project” session in a room with a big screen and start the social part after your input at a nice Australian Steakhouse.

The best thing is: we already have a first session: Michal is going to show his new Gemstone-based persistence framework for Pharo. It can be used to develop in Pharo and keep your objects stored in Gemstone.

We need your input

This new setup with a meeting room adds more value to all of us: we can now not only talk about each others’ epxeriences and porjects, but see what they’re up to and what they found.

So to make this event an even better one than before, we need people who’d like to share their ideas, their latest work on some hobby or professional project. There’s no need for a full-fledged sales pitch with fog and visual effects and such, just bring your laptop and show us what you do! The room is reserved for ca. 1 hour, so we can have, say, 2-3 presentations before we leave for beer and steaks.

So if you have something interesting to show or would like to find people to join on some early project you’re starting/planning, give us a chance to learn about it. If you’ve built some interesting tool or use Smalltalk for something very special to you, let us know and share your fascination and ideas. We’ll sure appreciate that!

But if you spontaneously decide you want to show something or start some discussion, feel free to do so. You just need to be prepared that we might have to leave the room before it’s your turn. Timeslots are limited.

It would be good if you’d pre-announce your demo to me for two reasons: first, we can see if we need to rent tho room for a little longer, but even better, your topic might attract even more people so I can post your topic and make sure people get the message.

So where and when?

We’ll meet at 7pm on Nov 8th, 2016 at

Alpha Sprachwelt AG
Stadelhoferstrasse 10
8001 Zürich

Around 8-8:30 pm we’ll walk over to the Outback Lodge where we’ve reserved a table. With Steaks and Drinks we can discuss ideas, talk about the good old times or do some spontaneous hacking. For directions to the Lodge visit http://www.outback-lodge.ch/index.php/stadelhofen

Hi,

Thanks for having organized a new Zurich Meetup!

In case you would still have a free slot and interest, I'd be glad to have an informal discussion regarding "Web Pontoon", a framework for web application's that, by design, allow managing/adapting their own behaviour as content. It draws on Seaside (http://seaside.st) and Pier CMS (http://piercms.com) and was published in 2010 [1].

Looking forward to catching up with you again soon,

Cheers,

Reza

Hi,

I would love to be in Zurich, but I obviously can't :(

So... is there a way to get some more info about that "Gemstone-based persistence framework for Pharo"? And who is Michal? Last name?

Thanks,

Dario, over the summer I started work on a framework called Tugrik[1] and Voyage/Tugrik[2]. Tugrik stores objects in GemStone using an api based on MongoTalk ... Voyage/Tugrik uses the Voyage persistence API for storing objects and it is implemented using Tugrik ... For examples of writing Pharo code using Voyage/Tugrik, see my presentation at this years ESUG[3].

A couple of years ago I mentioned "server blocks" and they appear again here as Voyage Server Blocks that allow you to write code in Pharo that is "transparently executed" on the GemStone server ... objects are serialized back and forth between Pharo and GemStone using STON ...

I haven't fully developed Voyage/Tugrik --- all of the unit tests are passing --- because I am wondering if the voyage paradigm is the right way to access GemStone from Pharo ... I am inclined to think that Voyage Server Blocks are a better model which puts me at a crossroads: do I follow the Voyage api and push development along those lines, or do I pursue a pure Voyage Server Block API ...

I am hoping to "partner" with interested developers and let them drive the direction of development ...

I think that Michal Balda is presenting his take on a Pharo/GemStone framework at the Zurick Smalltalk meetup tonight[4] -- Michal saw my talk at ESUG and I spent some time talking to Michal as well --- and after playing with Voyage/Tugrik has an idea for a simpler framework and I am very interested in seeing what he has come up with...

Ciao,

i development web solutions based on Seaside with  Pharo and Gemstone.

Now im interested to create Pharo application with objects stored in Gemstone.

Someone has developed a framework into Pharo to manage this interface?

( Some years ago i forked with Visualworks and relative GemBuilder )
