GemStone 101 is a series of articles on some of the fundamental concepts that you should have a passing familiarity with if you are planning on working with GemStone/S. These articles aren’t intended to replace the excellent documentation, but serve as a guide to the things that you can learn from the Programming Guide(pdf), SAG(pdf), and Topaz(pdf) manuals. It’s also a good idea to join the GemStone Customer Forum - all of our customers are subscribed to this mailing list and are very helpful if you have generic GemStone/S questions.
