Using Glorp with New Projects That Need to Access Legacy Data

Presenters: Mark Grinnell and Andreas Hiltner
In this presentation, Mark and Andreas will describe a medical domain that needs a new web application that must connect to multiple legacy databases.  They will also show how using Glorp and the graphical modeling and mapping tools in Cincom® ObjectStudio® will help users understand the existing data and map it intelligently to match the needs of vital new applications.  This is a situation where the freedom and flexibility of Smalltalk can really shine!
