3.0 Welcome text
by Ben Coman April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Some feedback on the Pharo 3.0 Release welcome text. --- From watching the Ruby conference video from another recent thread, use of the word "immersive" really caught my attention. As well, from another recent thread, newcomers probably don't care if its Smalltalk - either actual or inspired. So lets sell the strongest outside marketing message first... Welcome to Pharo, an immersive live programming environment. rather than Welcome to Pharo, a clean, innovative, free, and open-source Smalltalk-inspired environment. --- Newcomers wont know how to "execute" a statement, so... You can learn pharo by highlighting the next line and selecting [Do it] from the context menu: rather than You can learn pharo by executing: (Later reference to "executing" is okay.) --- > Better [ackaging for standard download Better packaging for standard download >Browser the documentation http://www.pharo.org/documentation Browsing the documentation http://www.pharo.org/documentation >Getting the Pharo By Example book (available as a free PDF): (This is the only line with a colon, remove that.) Maybe move "New class builder" under Kernel heading . Maybe change "More" heading to "Tools" cheers -ben btw, it would be really cool if URLs within comments were automatically identified and clickable to launch an external browser.

[ANN] FFI for ARM
by Douglas McPherson April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Iâve published an alpha version of an FFI for the ARM architecture. It is in the class ThreadedARMFFIPlugin in the VMMaker.oscog package on source.squeak.org. The generated sources are also available at http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/src/plugins/SqueakFFIPrims/ARM3… It passes all existing FFI tests and all tests I used for development. I plan to commit my development tests to the FFI-Tests package within the next few days. These extra tests are important because existing tests donât exercise some of the trickier cases choosing between registers and stack when marshaling function parameters. So far, the ARM FFI has only been tested with the Cog/Stack VM on a Raspberry Pi. I plan to also test it on the BeagleBone Black which has a slightly different ARM chip. The overwhelming majority of the credit for this must go to Eliot Miranda because his FFI design works so well, and because he helped me immensely along the way. And many thanks to Tim Rowledge for showing me how to build a Cog/Stack VM on the RPi and answering numerous other questions. Any bugs in the ARM version of the FFI are my responsibility. Enjoy!

Oauth without callbacks question
by Mariano Martinez Peck April 29, 2014

April 29, 2014

Hi guys, I am trying to use OAuth (as a client) to a OAuth server in which the callbacks are a bit messy. So for the moment, assume I cannot specify a callback. So the only option I have right now (this is a prototype anyway) is to copy and paste the "verifier" so that I can later get the access token. I am basing my code in Sven's great Seaside demo. However, and here is the problem, he does this to go to the authentication page: self requestContext redirectTo: (self oauthService loginUrlFor: requestToken) ; respond. What happens here in my app, is that the browser redirects of course to the OAuth authorization server where I finally can see the verifier code. But...say I have to enter this code in my app...there is no way (as far as I understand) to map it to the (previously stored somewhere) request token. So I don't know which request token to use. So I think the only option is that the above redirect in fact opens another tab in the browser and that my seaside apps holds into the current request token. Somehow, I would like seaside to then ask for a verification code or something... Is that possible? Any idea how can achieve that? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Super. We're very close now.

Amber-Pharo based coding dojo in a coworking space
by Sebastian Sastre April 29, 2014

April 29, 2014

Hi guys, I thought you might like to hear that after presenting a case on Smalltalk using these slides: http://dinos.flowingconcept.com to an for an heterogeneous audience ~(10% devel 10% creatives a couple of angel investors and most people with administration profile) in a coworking space. Many things happened after that session, one of those was that developers there started to ask for more but only after Iâve shown them availability for a demoing / coding session together. So, that coworking has scheduled a friday night coding dojo in a couple of weeks where they expect that I show them how to use Smalltalk to kick some ass sebastian o/
