Hi, I am preparing a set of talks that have reflection at the center. Obviously, I want to use Pharo to demonstrate reflection. I am now looking for examples that can be explained to programmer newbies (actually, managers). I am particularly looking for examples that include adaptation (not just inspection) and that can show that reflection is valuable. I already have some examples in mind, but they might not appear particularly valuable. For example: - inspecting a class: Object methods. - adapting a class: Object compile: 'answer ^ 42'. Any suggestions? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"

Scaffolding patterns (read them) Increase productivity when brainstorming. Use DNU to compile on the fly some methods or to copy methods when you are designing a new piece of functionality Proxy how to implement them nicely
Any suggestions?

What patterns are you referring to specifically? Any link?

Yes, that is a nice path, and I am looking for specific scenarios that can be used for a short demo. Any ideas?
Proxy how to implement them nicely
Proxies are indeed interesting and not difficult to explain, but the examples I think of (such as a facade, or a logger) do not really show adaptation. Does anyone have other examples? Cheers, Doru
Any suggestions?

Method wrappers in combination with setting of fields in other objects? A simple ad hoc 'framework' to map UI fields by name to object fields? Serialization/Deserialization? Mockup Objects for testing?

Wouldn't cooperative remote programing (when two or more developers are connected to the same image from local ones) require such (dynamic) adaptation? I mean, local proxies would have to reflect remote changes on-the-fly to reflect objects in browsers, inspectors etc. â¦Or, what do you mean by adaptation here? Any links to formally definitions will be appreciated. -- Best regards, Dennis Schetinin 2013/8/21 Tudor Girba <tudor@tudorgirba.com>
