> As mentioned in previous responses, the period is a statement separator not a terminator.  In fact, the original Smalltalk-80 considered a period at the end of a method to be a compile error.  This restriction was eventually lifted but it lasted for a long time in early versions of Smalltalk.

> The link between Algol60 and Smalltalk is actually a very short one. In the early 60-ties Christen Nygard needed for simulation interruptible procedures that could be assigned to variables. He used Algol60 as his vehicle. He defined a single extra concept completely in line with the procedure concept of Algol60. He gave it the name "Class". This language was called Simula67. Of course, the semicolon as statement delimiter in stead of statement closure, was maintained.
> Simula on its turn was one of the most inspiring languages for Alan Kay in his Dynabook project. In this project he developed a new language: Smalltalk (first version: Smalltalk72).

> How far ahead Alan Kay was, is the time it actually costed to implement the real dynabook: another 40 years. Yhe name of the first realization: iPad.

> STIC is a forum where Smalltalk professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts can meet and share ideas and experiences. We are currently accepting proposals for talks involving Smalltalk technology and other areas of innovation in the software industry. We're looking forward to an excellent conference, and need your participation to maintain the high technical level of the conference!
>
> We are also looking for academic papers for the "Smalltalk Directions" part of the conference.  If you plan to submit a paper, please follow the same directions listed below for presentations.  Such papers should address possible future directions for Smalltalk and/or Smalltalk inspired dynamic languages.

> The conference will take place at the Wigwam Resort in Phoenix, Arizona between June 9 - June 12, 2013.

> Presentations will have 45 minutes time slots including discussion. They may be in the form of:

> If you cannot discuss the internal application you are working on due to corporate restrictions, perhaps you can discuss the application's component usage or development process. We also plan to reserve time for short presentations, in the form of Lightning Talks and short technology demonstrations - but these will be available for sign-up at the conference rather than as advance proposals.  These talks will be limited to a 5-8 minute time window, so if you intend to volunteer for one at the conference, be prepared for that!
>
> Submissions should be received by February 15, 2013, and should be submitted either in PDF or Word (Microsoft) format. Note that submissions with incomplete information may be rejected - particularly if bio or abstract information is missing.
>
> Presenters will qualify for a significantly discounted registration - if your talk is accepted, we'll have full details on the specifics.
