Just a reminder that we're approaching the early regristration deadline for 
Smalltalk Solutions, and the price goes up after April 8th (Monday).

We have a great program this year, which you can see at 
http://www.gosmalltalk.com/speakers.php

A couple of highlights:
   - XP: Ron Jeffries, Ann Anderson and Chet Henrdrickson will be doing 
three talks on different aspects of eXtreme Programming.

   - Smalltalk in Practice: We'll be hearing about Smalltalk doing 
industrial process control , building first-person shooter video games, and 
running a large travel site. Ed Klimas will talk about building a 
successful e-commerce application in Smalltalk with detailed metrics 
comparing it to other approaches.

   - A Smalltalk view of other technologies: There's a whole world of 
technologies outside of Smalltalk that we need to keep up with. We'll hear 
about IBM's open-source Eclipse IDE and whether it really eclipses 
Smalltalk, about Apple's new MacOS X, about J2EE and .NET, about Web 
Services and JxTA, all from a Smalltalk-centric point of view.

Of course this will also be your opportunity to hear about upcoming 
releases of VAST, Gemstone, Dolphin, and Cincom Smalltalk, to learn about 
future plans, and to network with other Smalltalkers.

Hope to see you there,
