Talks at UBA and UTN

I haven't had much chance to comments on the talks I was invited to give at UBA and UTN until now. Cincom's visit to Argentina has been quite busy, with every single day having appointments even last Saturday. Tomorrow is a holiday here, so now there's a chance to take a moment and reflect on the presentations.

The presentation at UBA regarding SUnit and its extensions last Friday went very well. The room was full with about 30-35 people, and the audience asked really pointed questions and seemed to truly enjoy the material. I really like it when that happens! In addition, the frameworks are being ported over to Squeak. What else could I ask for? It makes me happy that what I did is helpful for others.

Yesterday's presentation at UTN was also very nice. The talk was scheduled in the aula magna, a very large room with a 2nd story balcony and ceiling room to spare --- I'd say it's about 30 feet from the floor. It was also the first time I've given a presentation with a microphone. There were about 40 people, and at the end of A Pattern of Perception many people came over asking for the code. It was really great :).

Today's presentation at UBA also went well. This series of talks is particular in that there's food before the talk, which was very nice. It was also A Pattern of Perception, although the format was different because we had a stricter time limit than at UTN. The attendance was about 20 people, and there were interesting questions regarding how to deal with attractors that have unwanted properties which slip inadvertently.

More of the same, please!
