[Pharo-project] [ANN] Video Course on Smalltalk

by Davide Varvello

I apologize for this brief announcement, but I'm really happy to tell you that I've been working on a video course on Smalltalk. Now the first video is available and all the lessons can be pre-ordered here http://it.thinkcode.tv/catalogo/programmare-in-smalltalk/ Actually the course is in Italian, but there will be an English version soon. I mainly use Pharo so the community should be happy :-). Thanks Davide

Actually rather more complicated than that... You'll want the full path I expect, also the correct OK button enablement... Any reason not to have the FileStream?

Re: [Pharo-project] [newbee] How do I save the contents ofaWorkspace?

by Gary Chambers

Not at present. Have a look at FileDialogWindow. Perhaps you could add a couple of methods... saveSelectedFile "Answer the name of the selected file or new filename or nil if blank." |d f| d := self selectedFileDirectory ifNil: [^nil]. f := self selectedFileName ifNil: [self fileNameText withBlanksTrimmed]. ^f ifEmpty: [nil]. answerSaveFileName "Set the receiver to answer the selected/entered file name." self actionSelector: #saveSelectedFileName. self changed: #okEnabled Then, to open one... |fd| fd := FileDialogWindow new title: title; answerSaveFileName. ^(modalParentMorph openModal: fd) answer Choosing an appropriate modal owner. If you want, you could add the convenience methods to TEasilyThemed also...

Hi John, Somehow drag-and-drop from the Finder into Pharo is not working for me... If I drag a changeset on the Pharo desktop, in the old vm it would be filed in. Now, it can not be dragged to the Pharo window anymore. Strange... it worked in the 4er series ok, never in the new 5er.

[Pharo-project] CFPaper: 4th Workshop on Dynamic Languages and Applications

by Alexandre Bergel

4th Workshop on Dynamic Languages and Applications (DYLA 2010) (collocated with TOOLS) categories: programming languages, software engineering, computer science When: Jun 28, 2010 - Jun 28, 2010 Where: Malaga, Spain Submission Deadline: Mar 31, 2010 Notification Due: May 14, 2010 Final Version Due: May 31, 2010 link: http://scg.unibe.ch/wiki/events/dyla2010 Call For Papers The DYLA Workshop series focuses on the revival of dynamic languages. These days, dynamic languages (like Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Lua, etcâ¦) are getting ever more popular. This is a call to arms for academia! We need to explore the future of dynamic languages through its human aspects and technical issues. We also ought to look back and pick up solutions from existing dynamic languages (such as Scheme, Smalltalk, or Self) to be rediscovered and spread around. Goal and Topics The goal of this workshop is to act as a forum where we can discuss dynamic languages and their applications. Topics of interest include any topic relevant in applying and/or supporting dynamic languages: Ruby, Python, Groovy, JavaScript, Lua, Clojure, Lisp, Scheme, Smalltalk, Self, ABCL, Prolog, and many moreâ¦ Human aspects of dynamic languages, such as â empirical studies about the application of dynamic languages â best practices and patterns specific to dynamic languages â program correctness through unit testing (as opposed to types) â improved or novel IDE support for dynamic languages â use of dynamic features by library & framework developers â scripting of static application with dynamic languages â reverse engineering and analysis of dynamic applications Technical aspects of dynamic languages, such as â what features make a language a dynamic one? â agents, actors, active object, distribution, concurrency and mobility â delegation, prototypes, mix-ins, traits â first-class closures, continuations, environments â reflection and meta-programming â automated reasoning about programs written in dynamic languages â (concurrent/distributed/mobile/aspect) virtual machines â optimization of dynamic languages â multi-paradigm & static/dynamic-marriages â type systems for dynamic languages â (dynamic) aspects for dynamic languages â higher-order objects & messages â â¦other exotic dynamic features Submissions The workshop will have a demo-oriented style. The idea is to allow participants to demonstrate new and interesting features and discuss what they feel is relevant for the dynamic language community. Participants need to submit a 2â4 page position paper of their work in ACM, sig-alternate.cls format. At the workshop, participants will be asked to give 10-minute âlightning demosâ of their contributions.
