Bio: Arden Thomas started using Smalltalk in 1986, when he was
researching and exploring better ways to do software development. He
found it! Smalltalk and object-oriented were such a profound
improvement for doing software development, that he made a full
commitment to using Smalltalk. Arden used Smalltalk in his
post-graduate work thesis and projects. Prior to becoming Cincom’s
Smalltalk product manager, Arden has done Smalltalk work for IBM,
Parcplace Systems, ParcPlace-Digitalk, ObjectShare, and a hedge fund
in a number of capacities including; lead developer, trainer,
architect, consultant, and sales SE. When not working with Smalltalk,
Arden can be found cycling, officiating at swim meets, or attending
events with his family and children. This year Arden became certified
as a USA-swimming referee after years as a stroke-and-turn and
starting official.
