Job Opening / Permanent Position / Germany / Seaside / J2EE

We are looking for a full-time developer to join our unconventional and
small team of web-exclusive application developers. Our offices are
located in the Dusseldorf area of Germany. Telecommuting from long
distance is not an option, the ability to travel between our office
locations is a must.

The successfull candidate will have 2-4 years of experience with Seaside
application development, Tomcat, Hibernate / other ORM, SQL and JSP, and
deployment on Linux and Windows server platforms. Good command of the
German language is a must, fluent English a plus.

We are a network of companies who develop/license outstanding standard
software for our long term cliens in the Finance Instrustry (regional
banks and nationwide insurancers) and the Power Supply Industry (regional
and nationwide utilities) throughout Germany, for their Change Management
and Information Management.

Our standard software is constantly being developed and maintained for
meeting the ongoing demands of our existing and new clients, our fast
turnaround time and the ability to accurately model user requirements and
to employ open standards as well as industry standards are critical
success factors.

We expect our new team member to lead develop our new ticketing system and
our new collaborative software documentation system (multimedia), both
based on Seaside technology, but also to be a competent and reliable human
factor in the development of our standard software.

  You, crazy!

  If you have any questions regarding OLPC etoys, please ask people on
the etoys mailing list (http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/etoys).
Depending on where you are going to do this kind of demo, somebody
with the prototype or production model of XO may be able to help you.

[ANN] Smalltalk flyers updated - German and Spanish translations required

Hi,

Smalltalk flyers are located to http://damien.cassou.free.fr/. I plan
to create Squeak and Seaside flyers too.

I've added a paragraph about blocks on the flyer. The flyer is
translated to English, French, German and Spanish. I need a german and
a spanish for the translation of the following paragraph. Also, in the
Spanish version, there is no more free room for the squeak browser
picture. So, someone has to rephrase the spanish version.

If you have comments, feel free to answer this message.

\newcommand{\stBlockTerm}{Block}
\newcommand{\stBlockDefinition}{

  Block are used to delimit a sequence of parametrized instructions
  for which evaluation is deferred. They can also be seen as anonymous
  functions with or without arguments.

  \begin{displaycode}
    \#('Hello ' 'World')

    \hspace{1cm}  do: [:string | Transcript show: string].
  \end{displaycode}

  The example sends the message \code{do:} to an array of strings with
  a block as a parameter. The block is evaluated once for each element
  in the array. The block parameter \code{string} contains each
  element of the array, one after the other. As a result of the whole

MySQL reentrant queries ?

Hi,

I'm using Mysql-Driver from Universes. It seems that
queries/connections are not reentrant, eg it's not possible to do
another query with the same connection while processing the resultset
of another one, something like

"select * form articles" do: [:each |
       "select tag from articles_tags where article_id = 42"
]

If I do this I get "Error: Invalid query XXXX blahblah" with blahblah
being some row contents from the outer query (eg article content), and
completely unrelated to the inner query which accesses a different
table.

I've rewritten my code to create a new JdmConnection at each inner
query and this way it works. Is this a bug, or was I using it the
wrong way ?

This test shows that the maillist archive still works.

And everybody just took the weekend off from writing.

I was getting concerned and curious about the lack of
reading.

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

P.s. If your not reading this then it doesn't work.

Re: Refactorings drop comments

Gwenael fixed some bugs in RB and defined move to class, split  
package/merge package already.
I told him to communicate more about his progress.
He is working on a PreservingFormatPrettyPrinter :)

Squeak list down?

Hi,

The last posting from the Squeak General Purpose developers list was on 
Nov 30, 2007 at 3:58pm. Has something gone bad with the email server or 
was I somehow dropped from the list?

Please advise.

Thanks.
