VAST Platform 2021 Design It. Build It. Deploy
VAST Platform 2021 10.0.2 Design it. Build it. Deploy it. Create object-oriented software that’s stable, easy to maintain, and deploys smoothly — all from the same comprehensive development environment. The VAST Platform is a comprehensive integrated development environment (IDE) that works with a Smalltalk language New in 9.2.2 runtime. Because it’s Smalltalk-based, the IDE and the runtime are essentially a development ‘image’ that’s executed by a virtual machine (VM). First released as IBM® VisualAge® Smalltalk in 1993, the VAST Platform has built upon this original foundation starting in 2005 and has continued to grow in power and flexibility through ongoing research and development. VAST has evolved beyond what the original VisualAge developers could have foreseen, and allows developers to quickly iterate new ideas with proven Smalltalk-based live programming methodologies and deploy to a variety of desktop, cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), and on-premise server hardware. Version Control What’s New in VAST 2021 • Git/Tonel tooling Platform Development Tools • Brace array syntax • Migration to LLVM 10 compiler toolchain • Method type annotations • Asynchronous call-ins • SELinux Support (As of 10.0.1) Look and Feel Core Libraries • Hi-DPI fixes and enhancements • Cross-platform OsProcess framework • Product branding and other visual updates • Futures/promises asynchronous framework • High-resolution timer • Secure RNG stream • Swapper performance increase • Enhanced walkback generator Documentation • Lightweight/mobile-friendly documentation Communications • IBM MQ Series SSL/TLS support and 64-bit updates • Improved SMTP handling • Socket fixes and enhancements Top Features Type Analysis & Enhanced Multi-CPU Capable with Asynchronous Code Completion FFI & OsProcess Programming Real-time and lag free.

Design and Analysis of Web Application Frameworks
Aarhus University PhD Dissertation Design and Analysis of Web Application Frameworks Mathias Schwarz Supervisor: Anders Møller Submitted: January 29, 2013 Abstract Numerous web application frameworks have been developed in recent years. These frameworks enable programmers to reuse common components and to avoid typical pitfalls in web application development. Although such frameworks help the pro- grammer to avoid many common errors, we find that there are important, common errors that remain unhandled by web application frameworks. Guided by a survey of common web application errors and of web application frameworks, we identify the need for techniques to help the programmer avoid HTML invalidity and security vulnerabilities, in particular client-state manipulation vulnerabilities. The hypothesis of this dissertation is that we can design frameworks and static analyses that aid the programmer to avoid such errors. First, we present the JWIG web application framework for writing secure and maintainable web applications. We discuss how this framework solves some of the common errors through an API that is designed to be safe by default. Second, we present a novel technique for checking HTML validity for output that is generated by web applications. Through string analysis, we approximate the out- put of web applications as context-free grammars. We model the HTML validation algorithm and the DTD language, and we generalize the validation algorithm to work for context-free grammars. Third, we present a novel technique for identifying client-state manipulation vulnerabilities. The technique uses a combination of output analysis and informa- tion flow analysis to detect flow in the web application that might be exploited by malicious clients.

Clackamas County Reopening Plan
Clackamas County Phase I Reopening Application May 2020 CLACKAMAS COUN T Y 1 May 19 \ 2020 Honorable Governor Kate Brown c/o/Jennifer Andrew 254 State Capitol Salem, OR 97301-4047 Clackamas County's Application for Phase One Reopening Dear Governor Brown: On behalf of the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners, we are pleased to submit Clackamas County's Phase 1 Reopening Application for consideration by the Governor's Office and the Oregon Health Authority. Our residents have taken your directive to "Stay Home, Save Lives" seriously and local efforts have been highly effective in "flatting the curve" for COVID-19 in Clackamas County. Our community has experienced significant community impacts, and it is time to begin gradually reopening additional sectors of our local economy. Staff within our Clackamas County Emergency Operations Center have worked hard on an in-depth analysis of each of the 7 prerequisites required for entering Phase 1. We are confident that we either meet the necessary requirements or have comprehensive plans in place to address urgent needs as our businesses (identified in Phase 1) start to reopen. Additional financial and technical resources from state and federal sources will be critical to implement our plans related to testing, contact tracing and monitoring, and isolation facilities. We have been in regular communication with our partners in Health Region 1 and neighboring Local Public Health Authorities to coordinate local response efforts, prepare for reopening, and monitor the established gating criteria. We are doing all we can to prevent having to re-impose restrictions. We also recognize the need for our residents and visitors to remain vigilant in protecting themselves and others from the risks of COVID-19.

TBTeapotWebApp stop 1.2 A Web UI for TinyBlog with Seaside The work presented in this exercise does not require the one on Voyage and MongoDB. This week, we start with a web UI dedicated to display posts to users. Next week, we will develop another web UI for the blog owner to admnistrate the posts. In both cases, we will define Seaside components http://www.seaside.st which has a freely available book online here: http://book.seaside.st. 1 Figure 1.1 Start Seaside Server. Figure 1.2 Accessing Seaside Home Page. 2 1.3 Start Seaside 1.3 Start Seaside There are two ways to start Seaside. The first one consists in executing the following code: ZnZincServerAdaptor startOn: 8080. The second one uses the graphical tool named ”Seaside Control Panel” (World Menu>Tools>Seaside Control Panel). In the contextual menu (right clic) of this tool, select ”add adaptor...” and add a server of type ZnZincServer- Adaptor, then define the port number (e.g. 8080) it should run on (cf. figure 1.1). By opening a web browser on the URL http://localhost:8080, you should see the Seaside home page as displayed on Figure 1.2. 1.4 Entry Point for TinyBlog Web UI Create a class named TBApplicationRootComponent which will be the entry point of the application.

Seaside – a Multiple Control Flow Web Application Framework ?
Seaside – A Multiple Control Flow Web Application Framework ? Stéphane Ducasse a Adrian Lienhard b Lukas Renggli b aSoftware Composition Group Institut fürInformatik und angewandte Mathematik UniversitätBern, Switzerland bnetstyle.ch GmbH Bern, Switzerland Abstract Developing web applications is difficult since (1) the client-server relationship is asymmetric: the server cannot update clients but only responds to client requests and (2) the navigation facilities of web browsers lead to a situation where servers cannot control the state of the clients. Page-centric web application frameworks fail to offer adequate solutions to model control flow at a high-level of abstrac- tion. Developers have to work manually around the shortcomings of the HTTP protocol. Some approaches offer better abstractions by composing an application out of components, however they still fail to offer modeling control flow at a high level. Continuation-based approaches solve this problem by providing the facilities to model a control flow over several pages with one piece of code. However combining multiple flows inside the same page is difficult. This article presents Seaside. Seaside is a framework which combines an object- oriented approach with a continuation-based one. A Seaside application is built out of components (i.e., objects) and the logic of the application benefits from the continuation-based program flow infrastructure. Seaside offers a unique way to have multiple control flows on a page, one for each component. This enables the developer to write components that are highly reusable and that can be used to compose complex web applications with higher quality in less time.
