Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
On Tuesday afternoon, Travis Griggs will be talking about Cincom Smalltalk and Cairo - integrating the two will bring a lot of nice capabilities to Cincom Smalltalk:
The CairoGraphics Project is an OpenDesktop project that is a ...2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. It's gaining momentum rapidly as a cross platform way of doing modern anti-aliased graphics for multiple backends. Bindings exist for many different languages and toolsets, including GTK+, Ruby, and Python. This presentation is an overview of the language binding for Smalltalk, specifically VisualWorks. Attendees will leave with a general understanding of the general drawing model, how that is mapped in Smalltalk, as well as some of the techniques used to interface with the library.
