So, expect some tweaks to theming that make things more flexible (Android UI "emulator" with theme etc.) Regards, Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexandre Bergel" <alexandre.bergel(a)me.com> To: <Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr> Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 5:20 PM Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Some amusement > Interesting! > > Alexandre > > > On 15 Nov 2011, at 14:18, Gary Chambers wrote: > >> We are currently using Pharo to develop prototype UIs for Android >> devices... >> Not a lot of work to auto generate a skeleton app/resources from there. >> >> Even with no UI builder, so much more immediate in Pharo when working >> with a customer >> who's interaction time can be limited. >> >> Regards, Gary > > -- > _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: > Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu > ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;. > > > > > >

[Pharo-project] Some amusement

by Gary Chambers

We are currently using Pharo to develop prototype UIs for Android devices... Not a lot of work to auto generate a skeleton app/resources from there. Even with no UI builder, so much more immediate in Pharo when working with a customer who's interaction time can be limited. Regards, Gary

[Pharo-project] Getting the setupMethod next to the test

by Alexandre Bergel

Hi! A recurrent deficiency in OB that I often bump into when writing tests. I often need to know what the setUp is before writing a test method. Thus incurring a lot of mouse clicking. The following OB command allows one to get a new window with the setUp method. Personally, I found it useful. Maybe it can be included in the OB release. Shall I commit in PharoOB and produce a new version in the configuration? Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

[Pharo-project] Thank you

by Hilaire Fernandes

Hello people, A small note to say DrGeo is doing great progresses in term of features, usability and fun. I am working regularly with teachers from my school and elsewhere to develop new features based on their needs. The next release will be in December with a lot of new cool small features. This is nice for Pharo and Smalltalk as well. To document DrGeo, I am doing regularly screencast (now in Enlgish) in the DrGeo channel at Dailymotion http://www.dailymotion.com/group/drgeo Thanks for your helps. Hilaire PS: I really have fun programming DrGeo with Pharo Smalltalk -- Education 0.2 -- http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire

I had tested it a couple weeks ago by 'disabling it' which apparently is rather different than having it not in memory at all. Thanks for the help and no so much for the thread hijacking.

[Pharo-project] [Progress Report] Zn+Zdc=HTTPS (Zodiac)

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

Hi, Since the first Zodiac code became available last May and since the two Alpha releases in June and September I think there has been some progress. I know of at least two projects that independently have put Zn+Zdc (Zinc HTTP Components & Zodiac) to successful use for doing HTTPS: - Paul DeBruicker's stripe.com credit card payment gateway integration - Guillermo Polito's google.com account authentication and API access (Ulysse the Monkey) That is why in the last Zn release, HTTPS will work out of the box, provided you load Zdc and install the necessary plugin. So the following should just work: ZnClient new https; host: 'www.google.com'; addPath: 'search'; queryAt: 'q' put: 'Pharo Project'; get ZnClient new get: 'https://www.google.com/search?q=Pharo Project' To verify that the query actually worked, you can do a self includesSubString: 'www.pharo-project.org' on the resulting byte string. There is now a new webpage dedicated to Zodiac: http://zdc.stfx.eu Currently, it is quite minimal, but it will grow when needed. Although the project is far from finished, I think it is safe to move it from Alpha to Beta. Sven
