Hi,
I'm writing a desktop business application for a customer. ��Having
written a number of web applications using Pharo and Seaside, I would
like to use Pharo and Morphic in this case.
I have read the section on Morphic in `Pharo by Example', however,
writing a business application (i.e. CRUD), I need to focus on
(tedious) data browsing and entry, keyboard navigation, and so on as
opposed to (cool) interactive morphs.
My problem is trying to discern the the current and most stable
approach to using Morphic for such an application. ��Clearly, I have a
wealth of code at my fingertips and the Squeak wiki has numerous
posts, but many of the latter seem outdated and speak only vaguely of
the MVC vs. Morphic situation. ��Do I use ToolBuilder? ��Are pluggable
morphs a vestige of MVC? ��Do I use PolyMorph widgets? ��Do I use
dependencies, events, or announcements?
I am very interested in seeing Pharo succeed as a business application
development tool (among other uses), and I would be quite happy to
contribute to code and documentation to help that along. ��However,
first, I need to learn how to sort the wheat of Morphic from the chaff
of MVC and whatever else is lying around in a Pharo image.
Any pointers to (more) definitive documentation and classes would be
much appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
