JQueryWidgetBox build is green
by Stephan Eggermont
ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox
version28 now uses release3.1 of Seaside, which
currently refers to 3.1.0.2. It used to be 3.1.0
That makes the Pharo 2 builds green.
Please note that this configuration should be in two places:
http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/JQueryWidgetBox/main
http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/MetacelloConfigurations/main'
If you change it, please make sure to copy it to the other location.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Improving Pharo By Example
by kilon alios
hey guys I just finished the Pharo Tour Chapter. I will give it another
read the next few days , but so far it looks ok. The pdf renders without
any issues.
So I think I have figured out the process of copying from PDFs, I think I
understand now what PDF breaks. Looking into the tex file definetly helps
out to find exactly what went wrong. I also think I have started
understanding the latex syntax.
It looks like there some unicodes the tex allows to, but none the less I
decided to remove them all and replace them with regular ascii characters
to make sure it does not create any problem at all. Though those unicodes
did not brake the PDF creation.
So from now on the plan is to slow down a bit, I will do 1 page per day
with the goal of 1 Chapter per month. It should not take me more than 10
minutes per page (if pdf copy paste behaves I could do this even in 1
mimute) so I think its ideal for me. I will continue contributing since its
so easy and hopefully finish the book in a year or so if I don't give up in
the mean time.
Make sure you give a read and report back any problems. Also please take a
look at the problem I reported earlier on, documenting things that the
viewer cannot verify is not good.
The pdf of the book can be found here ->

Re: [Pharo-dev] Improving Pharo By Example
by kilon alios
In section 1.9 page 18 there is this text
"At other times you may have a good idea that a method exists, but will
have no idea what it might be called. The method finder can still help! For
example, suppose that you would like to find a method that turns a string
into upper case, for example, it would translate 'eureka' into 'EUREKA'.
The method finder will suggest a method that does what you want.8
An asterisk at the beginning of a line in the right pane of the method
finder indicates that this method is the one that was actually used to
obtain the requested result. So, the asterisk in front of String
asUppercase lets us know that the method asUppercase defined on the
class String
was executed and returned the result we wanted. The methods that do not
have an asterisk are just the other methods that have the same name as the
ones that returned the expected result. So Character»asUppercase was not
executed on our example, because 'eureka' is not a Character object.
You can also use the method finder for methods with arguments; for example,
if you are looking for a method that will find the greatest common factor
of two integers, you might try 25. 35. 5 as an example. You can also give
the method finder multiple examples to narrow the search space; the help
text in the bottom pane explains how. "
I tried " 'eureka' . 'EUREKA '" and the other suggestion it does not seem
to work , should I remove this section ?

>> Delete the highlighted text ``7'' (should have selected it for you, so

>> inspect it (i).
>>
>> Now you should see a new window, called an inspector, with the heading
>> SmallInteger: 7 (inspectit).
>> The inspector is an extremely useful tool that will allow you to
>> browse and interact with any object in the system.
>> The title tells us that 7 is an instance of the class SmallInteger.
>> The left panel allows us to browse the instance variables of an

>> The bottom panel can be used to write expressions to send messages to

>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Type self squared in the bottom panel of the inspector on 7 and print it.

>> Close the inspector. Type the expression Object in a workspace and

Re: [Pharo-dev] Call for co-coders
by Juraj Kubelka
Hi Stef,
this is great. I would like to participate on fonts, because I want to understand how it works. I have just read https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-workingRoadmaps/blob/master/Cleaning…
FT means FreeType? Thanks.
There is a lot of issues. Where do you recommend to start?
Cheers,
Juraj
