(DAY 1) Q&A with Walter Smith and James Joaquin
Walter Smith is one of the earliest and youngest Newton team members. He is the inventor of the Wallyscript, or Newtonscript programming language, as well as other aspects of the Newton. A few years ago he purchased a Newton museum, so he has lots of great development stuff from the old days. He is also a super-nice guy. Here he does a question-and-answer session and is joined by Newton Alumnus James Joaquin, who is also a Newton team member. The two generously answer questions and discuss minutiae, and are joined by other heroes of the Newton community such as Simon Bell (creator of the NCX newton connection utility and other important software) and Adam Tow (former head of the Newton Developers Association).
This and other presentations are part of the Worldwide Online Newton Conference. The Apple Newton was an early tablet computer which is still celebrated by fans today for its unique and personable use of technology, and as remarkably different from a programming viewpoint. WONC is the latest in a long line of World-Wide Newton Conferences dating back to shortly after the Newton’s cancellation in 1998. For more information, visit http://wwnc.online
