[Pharo-project] Adding "Extended Search" to OB context menu
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 9, 2011

May 9, 2011

Lukas: I use the "method source with it" quite a lot. I notice that in latest OB, in the context menu the "extended search" is not present any more. This is really annoying for me, because everytime I am in the method pane or somewhere in OB and I need to do the "method source with it", I need to copy paste the text, open a workspace, paste it there, and finally do all the "extended search" -> "method source with it". so....what about putting back the "extended search" to OB context menu? or at least the "method source with it" ? thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] WebDoc, SimpleWebDoc and Pharo website
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 8, 2011

May 8, 2011

Hi guys. One of the things I hate most is when there is a cool tool/documentation available and we don't spread it. I know Laurent did SimpleWebDoc a couple of months ago. Then Camillo did it again...and call it WebDoc. But...still, from the user point of view, there is nothing. You go to the Pharo website, and there is nothing. The webdoc is not hosted (seaside hosting is too slow). So... my question is....can we put WebDoc o SimpleWebDoc somewhere (for example in the same host where Pharo website runs) so that it is accessible? then we should link to it from different places in the phaor website. Don't tell me it is not ready. It doesn't need to be perfect (I don't care for the moment if there is no serach or if it is slow), we can already start to work: 1) Define where to host it 2) host it 3) put info and links from Pharo website to it. Then, updating webdoc is just a matter of upoading a new version... Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] [ANN] SystemProfiler for Pharo
by Philippe Marschall May 8, 2011

May 8, 2011

Hi I ported SystemProfiler from OpenQwaq to Pharo [1]. It's supposed to be better than MessageTally, not share some of it's limitations and show primites quite accurately. It requires Cog. Please note that this software is GPLv2. I left the class category as Qwaq, I hope this is fine with everybody. [1] http://www.squeaksource.com/SystemProfilerPharo.html Cheers Philippe

[Pharo-project] html doc
by Hilaire Fernandes May 8, 2011

May 8, 2011

I gave a try with Hevea to compile PBE book in HTML It gave many errors, I try to fix a few but there are many. It will require rewriting a lot of the PBE macros with ifelse{latex}{html} directives. This is what I did for the drgeo doc (http://documentation.ofset.org/drgeo2/fr) Does someone try with latex2html? Hilaire -- Education 0.2 -- http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire

Re: [Pharo-project] Popularity of Smalltalk in Software Industry
by sourav roy May 8, 2011

May 8, 2011

Hi Toon, I agreeto what have you said but as i am a beginner to smalltalk i need lot of help to get a good grip over it and moreover unlike other mainstream languages there are not much documents or professional from which i can get some guidance about it. And i feel as Smalltalk is quite vast and different in structure from the other mail(with my two month experiance and i may be wrong), a beginner needs some proper guidance to get his hands over smalltalk. So, i just request you to kindly guide me to how should i get into smalltalk. Thanks&Regards, Sourav Original message From:"Toon Verwaest"< toon.verwaest(a)gmail.com >Date: 5 May 11 13:29:11Subject: Re: [Pharoproject] Popularity of Smalltalk in Software IndustryTo: pharoproject(a)lists.gforge.inria.frHi,I can tell you that independent of how the industry might perceive the language Smalltalk, learning Smalltalk will make you personally a better software engineer. And this is what the industry does want. You will look at prog ramming from a new angle and this will give you an edge. This is also true for learning other old languages like Scheme or Lisp. As long as you stay within your Java / .NET bubble you will be one in a billion. If you learn Smalltalk, the fact you know something that other people might not makes you more special. The only negative part of learning Smalltalk while working on other types of applications is that you will eat your shoe 95% of the time hating that Java / .NET aren't more evolved and flexible :)As it seems that you are already working on a project revolving around Smalltalk, be very happy that you are getting the opportunity to learn it; you'll come out for the better.Lastly, don't care too much about popularity within industry. If you take the time to learn the systems for yourself you will probably learn to understand the differences yourself. You are currently also part of industry and obviously don't know Smalltalk well yet; how informed was your decision to no t know Smalltalk? You are part of "the industry" making other people not choose Smalltalk based on your (non)choice of not using Smalltalk; if they would all think this way! Sheep won't change anything :)cheers,ToonOn 05/05/2011 07:38 AM, sourav roy wrote:Hi All, I have just started my career in Software/IT industry and got into a project which involes enhancement/maintainance of product built in Smalltalk.

I may be wrong but i need some clarification about it. I just want to know that why smalltalk is not so popular as the other OOPs Languages and what is the future prospect ofone if he/she is into Smalltalk development.Looking for some positive note so that it may give me some entho for working with Smalltalk.
