Re: [Pharo-dev] [Screencast] request for review

It worked for me using VLC on Mac OS X. But although I understand Laurent 100% for not wanting to record his own voice (I hate mine as well), and although I have made subtitled screencasts in the past myself, it is a fact that it is very hard to watch what is happening on the screen and read subtitles at the same time - maybe watching at half-speed (AKA half-laurent-speed, or mer-mortal-speed) helps ?

Anyway to watch it with subtitles on win 7 and macos ?

Hi. Here is a repo for updated version of Pharo by example https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample and it should be done in Pillar. Iâve added you to the team, so feel free to contribute.

Everyone has a different background, that is a fact. Still, I think using a REST API is something most modern programmers are very familiar with. Being able to interactively work with the result of parsing XML is a really cool thing. And Laurent if know for his coding mojo, he's like an artist ;-)

Personally I did not understand at least %50 of the video, mostly because I am not familiar with Zinc and Html. Also the video moves very fast for someone not familiar to Pharo. Still its a very good demonstration how an experienced coder would work in Pharo. I think the website should have separate sections for screencasts and video tutorials and of course other documentation too as the old site did.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Making screenshots programmatically for book

by Laurent Laffont

Why not putting Smalltalk code that will take the screenshot and save it in the documentation ? Makes good functionnal tests too Ã la Python.

Making screenshots programmatically for book

by Stephan Eggermont

What is the best way to make screenshots for documentation? In Pillar we mostly have a figures directory with pngs. With the change rate of Pharo, making them by hand seems a bad idea. Stephan

Reading code with should:, I always imagined a trailing question mark... self should: [IHaveIceCreamForLunch] ? And even more so with should:raise: self should [thisPieceOfCode] raise: SomeError ? I dunno, you tell me! The potentially constructive suggestion out of that, is that, at least to me, assert:raises: deny:raises: sound more natural than assert:raise: when read out loud.
