Re: [Pharo-dev] [Tutorial] Rediscovering the UX of the legendary HP-35 Scientific Pocket Calculator
Yes, I agree. It is simply awesome. Thanks a lot! Bests, Jordi PD: I also love old calculators, though my first love was the HP-41CV
Sven. This is outstanding.
It is not only a comprehensive tutorial, but also is good loking, with a little touch of nostalgia for those who used a RPN calculator in the past :)
I wish we all could produce code and documentation the way you do. Maybe cloning you is an option.
Congratulations.
Best regards,
ps: there is a typo in the first image of "Modelling the HP-35" section.

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
https://medium.com/@svenvc/rediscovering-the-ux-of-the-legendary-hp-35-scien...
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

Yes, the HP-41 was the one I was dreaming about when I was young: it was so cool - it went on several Space Shuttle missions and they used that a lot in their ads - but it was way too expensive for me as a kid.
