Garage RDBMS First name: Esteban Last name: Lorenzano Type: talk Abstract: Access to RDBMS is key to make successful business and Pharo has improved support for them in the last years, but there is still a lot of work to do. DBXTalk is the umbrella project in which we are grouping all our relational persistence strategy: It contains low level database drivers and high level object mappers. This talk proposes a review of the state of art on relational persistence support. Bio: Esteban Lorenzano, 43 years old.

On 2007 he and two friends began a new start-up, Smallworks, an enterprise for agile developments, centered on Smalltalk. Currently, he is working in the RMoD INRIA team in Lille, France, as core developer for Pharo. Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/esug/garage-rdbms Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kuyAUt5AMw
