Hi
In fact I've managed to build some windows with controls but I feel missing several concepts on how to use Polymorph the right way ( funny, I've built Gtk, Qt, Swing, ... GUI quite easily ... ).
this is normal Morphic has not evolved since years. Now I hope that with the UI builder NullPointer is doing it will change a lot.
- What is the idea behind the word "Pluggable" (PluggableButton, PluggableDialogWindow, ....) ? Normally you pass a symbol or a block and it will be executed (I think that any GUI should be like that :)).
- It seems that many (all ?) UI in Pharo use the builder pattern. Great, but that's a lot of stuff for me while trying to learn (with almost no time, I had forgotten that a new child take soooo much time). Do you know a package/class with simpler UI to study ?
- In Toolbuilder, what the word "Spec" means ?
Some thoughts:
- Toolbuilder-Examples package is great to study how to use Toolbuilder. I think it should be included in Pharo with some other XXX-Examples packages that might exists.
thanks. Where is the ToolBuilder-Examples in the Squeak trunk?
- Is there a somewhat easier way to navigate through class and methods documentation than in System Browser ? I think that documentation is not easily seen, so it doesn't push developers to write documentation, so there's not a lot of documentation, so people don't write tools to read documentation, ... There should be a system / tool to reward developpers that write good class / package documentation with examples.
So far we should invent it. And I totally agree with you. If people do not see the good doc they will not write good comment. I started to work on DrDoc a kind of package meta data to add documentation to a package but it got stole I should push that again. What would be nice is to take one package and do it well as an example.
