Cincom Smalltalk Stuff

Smalltalk Solutions is over. Other people, including Jim Robertson have reported on the various sessions in a much more timely way than I can. One thing I like to collect though, is good quotes. Chad Fowler, who did both the "Ruby for Smalltalkers" tutorial and "The Innovations of Ruby on Rails" had the most quotable stuff for the conference, but there was one very nice one from Mark Petersen of IBM.

• "Ruby is a gateway drug to all the things that used to be too weird." - Chad Fowler (Ruby for Smalltalkers tutorial)
• "I love talking to Smalltalkers. You talk to a bunch of Java or PHP programmers their eyes glaze over and they don't understand why this stuff is cool. You guys understand why it's *not* cool." - Chad Fowler (Ruby for Smalltalkers tutorial)
• "In my opinion, Seaside is the coolest thing going in web development" - Chad Fowler (Ruby for Smalltalkers tutorial)
• "Smalltalk is an ideal language for non-professional programmers" - Mark Petersen, (Smalltalk in Semiconductor Test)
