Smalltalk with James Robertson

This week's podcast features our Product Manager, Arden Thomas. This is part 2 of two; if you didn't listen to part 1, you might want to grab that episode first. In this podcast, Arden discusses three things with us:

• The upcoming release of ObjectStudio 8.2.1
• The upcoming release of VisualWorks 7.7.1
• The roadmap going forward

We didn't discuss WebVelocity 1.1, since we covered that on a recent podcast. Arden is anxious to hear what your needs are in Cincom Smalltalk - if you like what you hear this week (and next; this is part 1 of a 2 part podcast), let him know. And if you think there's something else we should be doing - let him know about that, too!

David Buck tells us that the Ottawa STUG will be talking about debugging in June:

Smalltalkers user the debugger all the time to see what a program is doing and to help familiarize themselves with new parts of the system. Most developers, however aren't familiar with some of the more advanced features of the debugger. In this talk, David will present some of the more obscure areas of the debugger including various options for stepping, breakpoints, one shot breakpoints, watchpoints, variable watches, class watches and more.

Follow the link for location details - it's on June 9th at 6 PM

I've put together a number of walkthrough posts, and I figured it might be nice to have a simple listing of them, rather than forcing people to page through the blog post category.

Of course, you can also subscribe to the tutorial specific feed.
