[Pharo-project] [ANN] Alternative view of a system browser
by Goubier Thierry July 18, 2012

July 18, 2012

I believe that the traditional SystemBrowser of Smalltalk of old has been made unusable by the amount of code (and structure) you find in today's Smalltalk images. So this is to show you an alternative, a different way to browse through packages / classes and methods and code. This is Spec-based. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ic_fRnBXXdyqbiJ5NRP9YtMTjNZETYmyPJy0l… What is missing / targeted ? * Drag and drop reorganisation of the tree as preferred / or as package / category reuse. * A good search facility in the tree. It is already keyboard navigation friendly (since the tree view is). * Most / All menu methods of a complete System Browser. I'm planning on reusing the OmniBrowser command structure as much as possible (to make it faster). * Funny ideas on how to use the tree structure : group / selection display, queries, metrics ... ** There is probably a lot more to be done here, but it would probably require Mondrian or other graph visualisation tools. Expect the code sometime by the end of the week, in a Pharo 2.0 / Pharo 1.4 version.

[Pharo-project] 9th Innovation Technology Awards - Reminder
by jdelgado July 17, 2012

July 17, 2012

Hi, Reminder: 29 days to deadline Have you written innovative Smalltalk? The developers of any Smalltalk-based software can enter by submitting a 3-5min video of their software. Entrants demo their systems in a session at the end of Monday August 27th 2012, after which the conference attendees vote. (A vote consists in providing a sorted list of 3 preferred pieces of software.) The top 3 teams with the most innovative software will receive, respectively, 500 Euros, 300 Euros and 200 Euros. The results are announced in the Awards ceremony that is held during the social event. Applicants should provide the following information on the conference registration server. Once you have registered your personal info, an 'Awards' menu allows submitting your software. You can provide this information when you first register, or login again later and update your details. The registration server will open soon. You can start preparing your software right now though. Info to provide: Name of the software Licence information (free, shareware, or commercial) Name of the Smalltalk dialect used Name, Affiliation and Country of developers Besides, it would be great if the submission could include: URL for a video (3-5 min) showing a screencast / demo of the software URL for downloading the software or at least a runnable demo Deadline: August 15 Any Smalltalker can apply (students, companies, ...). The presented piece of code/software should be written in Smalltalk or directly support Smalltalk (e.g. Smalltalk VM). All Smalltalk dialects are accepted. The applicant should be "strongly related" to the presented code, be it as an author, as owner of the copyright/copyleft, or as an official representative of the copyright/copyleft owner.

[Pharo-project] Visualizing Legacy at SPA conference
by Stephan Eggermont July 17, 2012

July 17, 2012

Last week Willem and I presented a workshop Visualizing Legacy, using MOOSE, at SPA2012 in London. In a 150 minutes workshop we showed how to use glamour and mondrian to visualize the github repository data from 4 ruby projects and the code used for these analysis and the workshop itself. The exercises work toward the creation of a glamour browser with a mondrian pane showing custom visualizations not achievable by more static tools like Sonar. The answering of specific questions that arise during the analysis of the data show the strengths of the MOOSE toolchain. We started by showing some of the work Diego and I have done for the conversion of the data of a cobol ERP system to a modern ERP system. By creating (at least) one browser/visualization a day, we were able to make the subject matter expert, a very busy senior executive of the company, steer the conversion process to her satisfaction. By treating her as the bottleneck, and making it as easy as possible for her to see where we were, and what we still had to do/understand, she could effectively prioritize and decide. Then we asked the participants what they expected/wanted from visualizing their legacy code. The answers were a mix of things that tools like Sonar can easily provide, with very specific questions that need a programmable tool like MOOSE. As we expected, it took most of the about 14 participants quite a lot of effort and time to get to grips with the smalltalk environment to work in. So much so, that some asked for a separate smalltalk workshop to do before this one, or a larger timeslot for this workshop. The few participants experienced with Smalltalk had been using VW/VA and also had some problems finding their way around. In the end, the participants who managed to just follow the exercises achieved the goals without too much interventions needed. Inspired by ProfStef, we build a custom glamour browser for the workshop. The code can be found in the SpaTutorial project on ss3. (The ConfigurationOfâ¦ is no Metacello) http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/SpaTutorial It is split in a generic part, allowing you to create tutorials, and a specific part for this workshop. We might want to extend it so the exercises can be done entirely in the custom browser. That might help the smalltalk newbies. Now the participants needed two class browsers in addition to the tutorial, one to edit the exercise code, and one to look at the domain model. We believe the learning curve can be flattened by extending the SpaTutorial browser so it can save code, and extracting some methods so the tutorial browser only shows the bits participants have to work on right now, gradually expanding the scope as it progresses. It uses the data collected for the SPA2011 great egg-race. http://chatley.com/posts/06-20-2011/spa-great-egg-race/ Git commit data was collected by Michael Feathers from four ruby projects, a.o. active_merchant and diaspora. After my holidays I'll put the data in a zip in https://github.com/StephanEggermont/repodepot-ruby For the 150 minute timeslot we focused on glamour and mondrian, although we also prepared an eyesee exercise. Next time we might switch the exercises around - mondrian looks more glamourous than glamour ;). A longer version may also be in the works if we can run it somewhere. It was only after the mondrian exercise that participants could start playing with the data on their own. Participants indicated they associatied mondrian more with visualization than glamour.

[Pharo-project] Keymapping - Class vs. Instance Targets
by Sean P. DeNigris July 16, 2012

July 16, 2012

I've run into a lot of trouble implementing the vim bindings because morph instances don't make local copies of the class's maps, so there's no way to override class defaults in an instance. For example, for a particular instance, I can't detach a category that is attached to the class without detaching it from all instances, which I think will not work anyway because existing instances don't pick up those changes.
