Toronto/Ottawa: FREE GemStone Technical Seminars
MAKE YOUR SMALLTALK APPLICATIONS PULL THEIR OWN WEIGHT At this FREE GemStone Technical Seminar: Application Partitioning with Object Technology WE'LL SHOW YOU: How to partition your Smalltalk applications so that every part of your client/server system gives you top performance on the operations that it does best. YOU'LL LEARN HOW AN OBJECT APPLICATION SERVER CAN: *Offload compute-intensive operations from your client applications, letting the client provide the best performance and responsiveness to the individual user. *Minimize network traffic by executing operations on large collections and sending only the results to clients. *Centralize business objects, allowing multiple applications to share common objects or application frameworks, letting developers maintain classes in one place, and providing immediate, concurrent updates for all applications. *Enable users to share business objects in real time through state-of-the-art concurrency control, security, and transaction control mechanisms. *Increase system performance by optimizing access to legacy and relational databases at the server level. ...AND HOW TO GET: *Faster, more cost-effective development and maintenance *Accurate, real-time business modeling *Availability of accurate business information to thousands of users, enterprisewide, with excellent system performance *Integration of legacy and relational data storage into your object oriented client/server system without sacrificing performance or maintainability AND A CHANCE TO WIN A FREE GEMSTONE DEVELOPMENT LICENSE AND TRAINING: At the seminar, we will be giving away one free development license for the GemStone object application server plus an enrollment in the 3-day "Introduction to GemStone" developer's course. All attendees will receive our latest white papers and other technical materials. You'll learn more about how to partition your business applications for top performance, integrate your existing databases into your enterprise network, and keep business information available quickly and reliably to thousands of concurrent users.
