MSK Software Development

I started work of an interface to the CouchDB (MSKCouchDB) - a document/json oriented database from the Apache project. You may get further information about CouchDB at CouchDB at Apache.

In addition to this early interface I updated the JSON wrapper to produce correct string representations of JSON objects.

The software is available at vastgoodies as usual.

And as usual - this is work in progress and it will change between the version, but the code gives you the ability to play with that database.

Full abstract of talk: In the course of porting Seaside from Squeak (and now from Pharo) to VA Smalltalk, various code structures, tools, and techniques have been developed. In this talk I will share my experiences both in doing the port and in helping develop the tools and code structures in Pharo that ease porting. Others have used some of this work to help with porting Seaside add-ons which are available in the VAStGoodies.com code repository. So it seems appropriate to also include some introductory remarks on VAStGoodies.com repository and its proper usage when posting projects (project annotations, notes and comments, developer information and so on).

The next video is available hold by Sebastian Heidbrink.

Full abstract of talk: This session will show you how Tricept’s fat client server conversion enables others to use your reliable, or even mission critical, business logic via web services. We will deliver insight into a sample server application architecture and how it might become integrated into your service oriented system environment. See how competitive this solution is and how you can benefit from staying with or expanding with VASmalltalk.

The next video (size around 415 MB) is available hold by Luka Renggli:

Full abstract of talk: Seaside does many things differently from what is considered best practice in Web development. This talk will summarize new patterns of Web development and demonstrate why they are beneficial to build highly interactive Web applications quickly, reusably and maintainably. Moreover the presentation will cover the unique integration of Seaside with popular Javascript frameworks, such as jQuery and jQueryUI.

Have fun !

I’ve finished the preparation of the first three videos of this event. I think, that Instantiations will publish these videos also. The remote sessions seem also be available via screencast in the future - therefore having a much better quality than my videos.

The videos (due to their sizes) are available from the following location: VASTForum 2010 - Stuttgart - Videos. The sizes vary from 100 MB to 300 MB - and therefore a publication of the larger ones simply fail at blip.tv

The first videos are:

* VASmalltalk Business Update - Session 01
* Smalltalk State - Session 02
* WebServices - Example - Session 07

The others will follow over the time ….
