Thanks for interesting article. It will help me sink my teeth further into Pharo
That is one of my main goals.
Damn, it is such a long time since I saw slide rule anywhere. Gulp, I shouldn't betray my age.
Well, if you just saw a slide rule, then it is OK, if you used one, then that is something else ;-)
It looks like you forgot to mention the S word. It first appears in the Appendix and then in a URL. Watch out for the flames and the debates.
Well, that is on purpose: in the Pharo community there is a general consensus that talking about Smalltalk or Lisp scares away people. Another goal of the article is to attract new people, if such a thing is possible. Of course, Pharo is a Smalltalk, and is based on a long tradition/lineage that we are proud of. But going forward to the future, we want no restrictions. Anyway, a fun fact is that the HP-35 came out in 1972, which was pretty ground breaking in terms of new technology, but Smalltalk did already exist then in the form of Smalltalk-72 - something to think about.

Hi,
I have written a new, extensive, long form, introductory article about Pharo.
Rediscovering the UX of the legendary HP-35 Scientific Pocket Calculator
A tutorial on Pharo, test and specification based immersive programming

<Article-Announcement-Screenshot.png>
It is a bit different because
- it is based on a non-trivial example - it uses a backdrop story unrelated to Pharo - it uses several multimedia elements - it is published on medium.com which is a general publishing platform
The appendix describes several ways you can get the code. I think building both a Spec and Seaside UI from the same specification as well as reusing functional tests in different contexts is cool. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
Sven
