Improving doc of XMLParser

by stepharo

Hi monty Yesterday one student ask me to import in Moose an XML document. I spent more than 15 min trying.... What would have really help is the following (could you add it into the class comment): Many of the comment do not help because are scarce and not precise enough. To use a SaxHandler subclass it SAXHandler subclass: #MySAXHandler instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' category: 'MyXMLImporter' and redefine the method corresponding the notification you want for example: MySAXHandler>>startElement: aQualifiedName attributes: aDictionary self halt. Then to use it simply do | h | h := MySAXHandler new on: FileSystem workingDirectory / 'FILMS.XML'. h parseDocument. ^ h Your method startElement: aQualifiedName attributes: aDictionary should get invoked. I really think that having a tutorial on XML parser ***use*** is cruelly needed. Stef

CFP - IWST 2016 - International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies

by jannik laval

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call] [Please send to interested colleagues / mailing-lists] ************************************************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS IWST16 â International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies Prague, Czech Republic; August 23th, 2016 ************************************************************************************************************ ------------------- Goals and scopes ------------------- The goals of the workshop is to create a forum around advances or experience in Smalltalk and to trigger discussions and exchanges of ideas. The topics of your paper can be on all aspect of Smalltalk, theoretical as well as practical. Participants are invited to submit research articles or industrial papers. This year we want to open two different tracks: one research track and one industrial track with less scientific constraints. We expect papers of three kinds: Short position papers describing emerging ideas Long research papers with deeper description of experiments and of research results. Industrial papers with presentation of real and innovative Smalltalk applications; this kind of paper should enlighten why Smalltalk is really appropriate for your application. We will not enforce any length restriction. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- Submission deadline: *May 15th, 2016* Notification deadline: June 20th, 2016 Workshop : August 23th, 2016 *All accepted papers will be published in ACM DL (To be confirmed)* *Best papers would be extended in an International Journal* ------------------- Topics ------------------- We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of Smalltalk related topics such as: -Aspect-oriented programming, -Design patterns, -Experience reports, -Frameworks, -Implementation, new dialects or languages implemented in Smalltalk, -Interaction with other languages, -Meta-programming and Meta-modeling, -Tools ------------------- Best Paper Award ------------------- To encourage the submission of high-quality papers, the IWST organizing committee is very proud to announce a Best Paper Award for this edition of IWST. We thank the Lam Research Corporation for its financial contribution which makes it possible for prizes for the three best papers: 1000 USD for first place, 600 USD for second place and 400 USD for third place. The ranking will be decided by the program committee during the review process. The awards will be given during the ESUG conference social event. The Best Paper Award will take place only with a minimum of six submissions. Notice also that to be illegible, a paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the author and that the presenting author must be registered at the ESUG conference. ------------------- Publication ------------------- Both submissions and final papers must be prepared using the ACM SIGPLAN 10 point format. Templates for Word and LaTeX are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm. This site also contains links to useful informations on how to write effective submissions. ------------------- Submission ------------------- All submissions must be sent via easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwst20160 ------------------- Program chairs ------------------- Anne Etien (UniversitÃ© de Lille 1, France) Jannik Laval (UniversitÃ© Lyon 2 LumiÃ¨re, France) -- ~~Jannik Laval~~ Enseignant-chercheur Responsable PÃ©dagogique Licence Coordonnateur de Projet en SystÃ¨me d'Information IUT LumiÃ¨re, UniversitÃ© Lyon LumiÃ¨re laboratoire DISP http://www.jannik-laval.eu http://www.phratch.com http://www.approchealpes.info

Access environment

by Jan KurÅ¡

Hi, To access environment, I found this command in the mailing list: OSProcess thisOSProcess environment But the OSProcess is not by default in the Pharo. Is there some reason for this? Is there some better way to access environment? Do I need to add this dependency to my project? Gofer new squeaksource: 'OSProcess'; package: 'OSProcess'; load. Regards, Jan

STH can be fixed. This is more like some data problem. Who can look at the system to identify issues? Is this a Mongo issue?

THIS IS NOT THE POINT. THE POINT IS THAT WE WORKED LIKE MAD TO OFFER MOOC AND GET EXPOSURE AND IF SMALLTALKHUB DOES NOT WORK IT DEFEATS OUR GOAL Am'i clear?
