In this talk, Dirk will show how the user interface looks in the current environment and some code on how it was created. He will also show some tests with the drawpad and shapes Cincom did to see how they could be used for upgrading the Modeling Tool—a tool that allows the business architect to design and generate the framework for a software system using a powerful UML-based tool.

Biography: Dirk Verleysen has 24 years of experience working for various industrial and consulting companies and doing projects in different Smalltalks (Cincom ObjectStudio, Cincom VisualWorks, Smalltalk/V and VA Smalltalk). Dirk has consulted for many companies including Fabelta Ninove, Infosoft, Sanpareil, Roots, KBC Asset Management, Argo and ADP.

Dirk joined Cincom Systems, Inc. in 2008 as lead developer for the Modeling and Mapping Tools in ObjectStudio. The Modeling Tool allows a business architect to design and generate the framework for a software system using a powerful UML-based tool. The Mapping Tool connects your Smalltalk objects to relational databases easily, using object-relational mapping technology.
