Google Tech Talks

ABSTRACT
This talk begins with an overview of software
development at Adobe and a look at industry
trends towards systems built around object
oriented frameworks; why they "work", and why
they ultimately fail to deliver quality,
scalable, software. We'll look at a possible
alternative to this future, combining generic
programming with declarative programming to
build high quality, scalable systems.

This is an edited screen capture from a
Croquet demo given by Julian Lombardi in
August of 2007. It shows some of the
capabilities of the open source Croquet
software development environment. Croquet is
designed for use in creating and deploying
large-scale distributed multi-user virtual 3D
applications and metaverses that are (1)
persistent (2) deeply collaborative, (3)
interconnected and (4) interoperable. The
Croquet architecture supports synchronous
communication, collaboration, resource
sharing and computation among large numbers
of users on multiple platforms and multiple
devices. Tags :3Dmetaversevirtualworldscroquetsqueaksmalltalkavatarcollaborationelearningvideoconferencing
