Re: [Pharo-project] How do I actually start seaside using Workspace for Installing external projects?
by Dale Henrichs Feb. 1, 2010

Feb. 1, 2010

I think that this would be the perfect spot for a ProfStef tutorial ... handful of steps to configure/launch Seaside 2.8 ... The tutorial could be part of ConfigurationOfSeaside28 and when loaded would launch the tutorial ... it would not be part of the Core group, but would be available in the Tutorial group... Just some thoughts ...

Re: [Pharo-project] Fun with ProfStef
by Dale Henrichs Feb. 1, 2010

Danny, I like what I see...As the number of tutorials goes up there might be the need for more nesting levels (Library-->Books-->Chapters->>Lessons?) and a search feature ... just thinking out loud. In putting together a couple of ProfStef tutorials last weekend, I found that I'd like to be able to #goto a lesson (out of sequence), essentially hitting a branch point where the student can skip a set of lessons or move to a different set of lessons. My thought was something like: ProfStef goto: #lesson15 "jump to lesson15" ProfStef push: AnotherTutorial "start AnotherTutorial in-place" ProfStef pop "exit AnotherTutorial and return push point" ProfStef push: AnotherTutorial to: #lesson15 "start AnotherTutorial at lesson15" Since goto doesn't exist yet, I ended up doing a #goOn to another tutorial when I hit a branch in the lesson, but that leads to an unnecessary explosion in the number of tutorials I had to create.

So | in | principle a markup language for interactive tutorials which adds a bit | of | interesting short cut functionality and eye candy to the tutorial. | | - Tabbed browsing for having several tutorials opened at the same | time | | - A button saying 'save lesson', that overwrites the appropriate | method with | the current state of the workspace; users can annotate the tutorial | with their | own notes or experiments; also the ability to add additional lessons | | - A button to push the current tutorial with all the additional | annotations to | a Monticello repository, from which future versions for everyone can | be | generated. Wiki for interactive tutorials! | | - Some additional functionality to generate a whole new tutorial from | within | the tutorial browser | | - (Semi-)Automatic update of tutorials | | - And, of course, many, many tutorials. Wouldn't it be great to have a | | tutorial for all the important and interesting aspects of a system, | and even | for every additional package you download? With the system Laurent | designed, | writing a tutorial is only so very slightly harder than writing | example | classes and methods, but so much more expressive and approacheable for | someone | new. | | Cheers, Danny | | | Am Mittwoch, 27.

by Esteban Lorenzano Feb. 1, 2010

Hi, I don't remember the conclusion of the discussion about removing select:thenDo:, collect:thenDo: etc... They will be removed or they will stay as part of pharo core? Cheers, Esteban

[Pharo-project] MenuMorph help
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Feb. 1, 2010

Feb. 1, 2010

Hi all I want to replace PopUpMenu setMenuFontTo: self menuFont]. by its equivalent in MenuMorph. Does anybody has a magic invocation? I also would like to get rid of PopUpMenu in the following installAsDefault "FontSetNewYork installAsDefault" (self confirm: 'Do you want to install' translated, ' ''' , self fontName , ''' as default font?' translated) ifFalse: [^ self]. self installAsTextStyle. "TextConstants at: #OldDefaultTextStyle put: TextStyle default." TextConstants at: #DefaultTextStyle put: (TextStyle named: self fontName). ListParagraph initialize. "rbb 2/18/2005 13:20 - How should this change for UIManger, if at all?" PopUpMenu initialize. "SelectionMenu notify: 'The old text style has been saved as ''OldDefaultTextStyle''.'"

[Pharo-project] fun with morphic and inheritance

Quizz What is the superclass of PopUpChoiceMorph ? the answer is below | | | | | | | | | | | | | . . . . . . . . . V StringMorph.... probably because it has a String displayed. We removed it with luc and noury. But this is just an example of mix between inheritance and composition we would like to avoid in the future

How can I build an Exupery VM ? I think we should clean the linux download section of pharo website to have: - generated src (32 and 64 bits) so people can build an "official" vm with configure / make / make install. Very helpful for packagers too. - a clean pre-built version for the one-click image. Which VM should we propose ? Squeak or Exupery ? (And note we can have more choice on the wiki for "power users". I think we should put only one VM download on pharo website).

hi guys even if I'm not sure that our publishing process is the right one. I improved it a bit. :) When metacello will be ok to manage the core we will happily throw this code. Now ***before*** publishing the packages, the image is saved and a new image to be published is saved with all the dirty packages. This way if the changes do not load during the verification phase you do not have to remerge packages, reload cses.... you can just open the image just saved before the publish/save package phase.
