From a comment on a recent post on James Robertson's "Industry Misinterpretations" blog (offered without comment):
"Industry experts estimate that the collective worldwide programmer productivity losses by failing to use Smalltalk-based environments (such as Cincom's VisualWorks) could approach 700,000 dollars per day."
James Robertson has now published the audio and video from my Smalltalk Solutions 2008 talk. He's even put the audio into the Industry Misinterpretations stream, which I highly recommend you subscribe to.
I just finished giving my jam-packed keynote at Smalltalk Solutions in Reno. I knew the originally proposed "persistence" part of the talk was going to come up a bit short, so luckily the organizers allowed me to also give my evangelizing talk (Seaside: Your next web framework) as well. Even though this talk was "preaching to the choir", it seemed people listened to it rather intently, to help them understand how to sell Smalltalk and Seaside to others.
James Robertson of the weekly Smalltalk Industry Misinterpretations podcast has graciously offered me the opportunity to add a short weekly Squeak News segment to his podcast. I'll be selecting the most recent posts from news.squeak.org, and reading them at varying speeds, depending on the amount of news. Hear the result at the current podcast, and subscribe to get future (weekly) releases.
