Title: VM Smalltalk Update
Speaker: John O’Keefe
Tue, August 19, 9:00am – 9:45am
Description
Abstract: Another year has passed and, as ESUG 2014 approaches, I have a lot of information to share about the progress being made on the VA Smalltalk product.  During this last year, our engineering team members have all been hard at work refreshing the product with new features as well as upgrading some of the old ones. I will have some exciting new capabilities to show together with the “Roadmap to the Future” for VA Smalltalk.

Bio: I have been in software development for over 45 years. I joined the original IBM Smalltalk prototype team in 1990 and was a founding member of the IBM VisualAge Smalltalk development team. I was Team Lead and Chief Architect of IBM VisualAge Smalltalk from 1997 to 2007. In February 2007, I joined Instantiations to lead the VA Smalltalk development team. I am currently the CTO and Principal Smalltalk Architect focusing on future product architecture and development. I live in Durham, NC and work in Raleigh, NC.
