- 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" developerÆs course. All attendees
- will receive our latest white papers and other technical materials.
- YouÆll 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.
