Hi guys,

I thought you might like to hear that after presenting a case on Smalltalk using these slides:

http://dinos.flowingconcept.com

to an�for an heterogeneous audience ~(10% devel 10% creatives a couple of angel investors and most people with administration profile)�in a coworking space.

Many things happened after that session, one of those was that developers there started to ask for more but only after I�ve shown them availability for a demoing / coding session together.

So, that coworking has scheduled a friday night coding dojo in a couple of weeks where they expect that I show them how to use Smalltalk to kick some ass


Great to hear of small successes in reception of Pharo in the broader community.� Some ideas...

1. The most kick ass thing I can think of would go something like this...
� a. Set up two computers nominally "customer" (or "webserver") and "support team".� Start the same image on each.
� b. On the "customer" computer run some code that cause an error. In the debugger Fuel-out to a USB stick. Show them the small size of the file.
� c. On the "support team" computer, insert the USB stick and drag the Fuel file into the image and start debugging.
� Even better if the code that was running was a morph stepping across the screen with some text inside counting up, and that counter and morph position were maintained in the transition to the second computer - but I'm not sure if Fuel would handle that.

2. Parts of the Zinc quick start might be worthwhile...

3. Pull up halos on a menu and drag a duplicate a menu item onto the background, then show that it still works when it is clicked.� Bring up the halos again and inspect the morph where you can change the name of that menu item.� Exit Pharo and restart to show that the renamed menu item is still there.

4. Some of Doru's "build a custom browser" demos of Glamorous Toolkit are inspiring for how few lines of code are needed, but I don't have references.

good luck,
cheers -ben
