Via CLS, news of an upcoming STUG meeting in NYC - if you missed Smalltalk Solutions, here's a chance to see one of the talks:

Please join us for our second presentation of the month on May 18th.

Speaker: David Buck
ElastoLab is a shrink-wrapped VisualWorks application that allows kids to design their own 2D scenes that incorporate physics elements like particles, springs, and gravity and lets them see their scenes animate in real-time. Originally written in C , it was later completely re-written in Smalltalk.

David will be talking about the development history and the design challenges in writing ElastoLab. The talk will explain:

• how to interface to the Windows sound facilities from Smalltalk
• how to make graphical applications run quickly
• how to package a Smalltalk application for release
• developing help facilities and guided tours
• using the web toolkit to develop a message board on the Internet for ElastoLab.

A CD-ROM of ElastoLab will be available to all attendees.
