We are an informal group of Smalltalk enthusiasts.
How learning Smalltalk can make you a better developer.
Meetings are on Mondays, every quarter, at Ryerson room ENG288. There is no cost to join.
We use Meetup to schedule meetings and for messages.
At each meeting we have several code examples and questions, which lead to spirited discussions about the state of Smalltalk, and computer of computer programming in general. Most of us then go out for a nice dinner and more conversation.
If you have a topic or question for the next meeting, send an email to the Yahoo group list and it will be added to the agenda.
Next meeting is Monday, January 14.
We will discuss plans for supporting The James Robertson Memorial Programming Competition. Richard Eng is running the competition and the Toronto Smalltalk User Group has offered to help. All volunteers are welcome. See the transcript of Richard's keynote speech at Smalltalks 2018.
The contest will be a team competition. Each team will consist of four high school students. First Prize will be $6,000 (each team member will be awarded $1,500).
Second Prize will be $4,000 (each team member will be awarded $1,000). Third Prize will be $3,000 (each team member will be awarded $750).
About $3,000 are allocated for T-shirts to be distributed to the first 75 teams in the competition.
About $3,000 are needed for advertising and promotion. And $1,000 for miscellaneous expenses (including a deduction for GoFundMe).
The goal is to conduct the competition in early 2020.
