Randal Schwartz will be delivering a lot of Smalltalk at OSCon next week:

had also been accepted some months ago to teach a paid 4-hour tutorial "Introduction to Web Application Development Using Smalltalk Seaside" on Monday afternoon, and a 45-minute talk "Persistence Solutions with the Smalltalk Seaside Web Framework" on Thursday morning.  For some reason (which I'll blame on the drama around my broken arm), I forgot to blog about those here, although I'm sure I Twittered about it. :)

But on top of that, I had originally pitched an "intro to smalltalk" course that would precede my Seaside talk to prepare people for the afternoon talk.  It had been summarily rejected, and now I know why.  Avi Bryant (co-creator of Seaside) had been given that task Monday morning. But he wrote me a couple of days ago, asking me to take the talk over, as apparently he will be unable to make it to OSCON.  So, now I'm also doing roughly the talk I had originally pitched as well: "Finding the Swan in Squeak's Ugly Duckling" on Monday morning. And I'm now scrambling to prep for that too, although a lot of it had already been planned for my 5-day "intro to Smalltalk and Seaside" course that Stonehenge will be offering soon.
