[Pharo-project] Fwd: Company using Pharo [was: Have started an independent developer activity]
by laurent laffont April 11, 2011

April 11, 2011

Thanks Thierry ! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gmail perso <zebourk(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 10:38 AM Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Have started an independent developer activity - Thank you To: laurent laffont <laurent.laffont(a)gmail.com> Of course! You can add Alsim (http://ww.alsim.com/) to the list of company using Pharo. For the details, we are still in early stage of adoption, but it is really promising. As the best way to learn is to practice, we have started the development of a tool for our stock management, as the model is quite simple. The aim is to learn, and to validate some concepts too, like the use of a web interface. So we use: * Pharo * Seaside for the web part * Magma for the data persistence. For the moment, it is still in early stage of development, but it is growing quite fast. I think I will be able to give you more feed back soon. -- Thierry On lundi 11 avril 2011 at 09:52, laurent laffont wrote: On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 10:01 PM, ZeBourk <zebourk(a)gmail.com> wrote: Congratulations Laurent!
