[Pharo-project] About CompiledMethod category returning nil sometimes
by StÃ©phane Ducasse May 12, 2011

May 12, 2011

Hi guys With cyrille we experience sometimes CompiledMethod with nil category and this can break hard some problem. We were thinking but not sure that it would be good to make sure that nil is not returned but 'as yet unclassified' What do you think? Do you have any idea of potential problem? Stef

[Pharo-project] Call for ideas for DBXTalk UI
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 12, 2011

May 12, 2011

Hi guys. Thanks to the ESUG SummerTalk, DBXTalk team has started to work with the new products of the DBXTalk suite. However, for one of the tools in special we would like to hear your opinion. Just a little introduction to the two other tools: 1) A new Glorp port from VW to Pharo. In addition, we provide the DBX driver for Glorp, by the name of GlorpDBX. Guillermo Polito is mostly working on this. 2) A new tool that uses Magritte and the database metadata to automatically generate the mappings between objects and tables. The idea is to do it two-way: a) read the metadata from an existing database -> create magritte descriptions -> generate Glorp mappings -> query with Glorp b) write magritte descriptions for the mappings -> generate database schema -> generate Glorp mappings -> query with Glorp or something like that....it is not completely decided but that's the idea. This way we can autogenerate the Glorp mappings and then use Glorp normally. Santiago Bragagnolo is working mostly on this. The third product, and here the question, is going to be a UI for the DBXTalk suite. This UI would do the core functionalities of tools like SQLDeveloper, MySQL Explorer, pgAdmin, etc. This is basically: - visualize and get information of: tables, views, schemas, relations, indexes, etc. - be able to modify the previous items and impact them in the database - write queries and get results So...why this tool if we can also use external tools like SQLDeveloper, MySQL Explorer, pgAdmin, etc ? a couple of reasons: 1) having the tool inside the image is easier (just the same way you sometimes install an Eclipse plugin instead of using such programs) 2) the same tool works for all databases 3) we can customize it with particular things of DBX Gisela Decuzzi is working mostly on this. Now....what use cases do you think are useful for such UI ? what kind of things would you like ? what things we can do that are related to Glorp and to the magritte tool? what things can we do to have even more advantages than just using external programs ? I have the following things in mind: - Special console for DBX/Glorp logs. - Be able to edit Magritte description for mappings. - Sync the tables and mapping while edditing. - A new inspector for inspecting restultsets, where you see one rows and columns. Let us know. Once again, thanks ESUG for the sponsorship to the team. Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] Configuration of Ring
by Veronica Isabel Uquillas Gomez May 12, 2011

May 12, 2011

Dear all, The work on Ring is in progress. I have been experimenting with Ring in several tools: FileContentsBrowser (replacing the pseudo classes), Recent Message List and Recent Submissions (replacing the sourced method references), and Torch (extending its change model). An initial configuration of Ring is done. The repository is named Ring and it can be loaded in Pharo (Core or Dev) 1.2 and 1.3. For loading only the core: (ConfigurationOfRing project version: '1.3') load: 'MinimalCore'. Best Regards, Veronica Uquillas

Actually, I think it's the best ambassador we have right now to persuade professional developers to look into Smalltalk. >> >> Let me tell you why. >> >> Moose is a platform for software and data analysis and includes components like: Glamour, Mondrian or PetitParser. Moose solves a real and important problem that developers (both Smalltalkers and non-Smalltalkers) have: how to improve the productivity of the effort spent on assessment. Moose is an innovation in this domain because it enables a completely different approach through which developers craft their own tools fast (http://humane-assessment.com) The cool thing is that they build these tools by programming Smalltalk in Pharo, and thus they get to learn the language and the platform first. >> >> Moose also comes with exposure.
