Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo integration in enterprise feedback

by S Krish

The progress is painfully slow for obvious reasons. Sometimes wish one can throw away the yoke of working for survival and just work on for research.. hope to reach there in the next couple of years..! But the target of getting some usable base I hope to publish through before end of month for sure.. and see if I can have it running full time for internal apps within my company as a starting point.. The big leap will be in starting up the bean integration .. -Skrish On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 1:19 PM, laurent laffont <laurent.laffont(a)gmail.com>wrote: > Skrish, IMHO steps like this one are very important.

Just my two cents on Pharo and Spring ( with Groovy is my pet line..) http://skrishnamachari.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/smalltalk-in-the-enterprise… I am working on this by the way.. XMLRPC was the first step I took in that direction. Working on the simple Spring Filter and Pharo - Seaside rootFolder fix to make it play at the very basic level.. and take it ahead from there.. -Skrish Friday, November 26, 2010, laurent laffont <laurent.laffont(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I'm looking for feedback on Pharo integration in enterprise. > Especially how you have managed to put Pharo in your enterprise. > > > For example, I'm involved in web application development in other languages.

[ANN] New Smalltalk VM Beginners mailing list

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi everybody. We want to announce that we've created a mailing list called "Smalltalk VM Beginners" where all the people interested in VM can share knowledge. The aim of this mailing list is create a good and positive energy and spread the knowledge around the Squeak VM. If you always wanted to know something on the VM but never dare to ask, join the mailing-list, may be we will not know it but we will try hard to learn it together. The idea is that we can help each other, welcome people to learn about the VM, and increase and share the knowledge about it in the community. Everybody can ask questions, everybody can help. This mailing list has more or less the same idea of pharo-users or squeak-beginners. Now, to clarify the objectives of the mailing list, we propose some requirements: - Be polite, respectful. - No question is stupid and all questions are welcome. We welcome the most basic questions someone can ask about the VM like, "is it written in C?" "How can I download the code?" - This mailing list should be useful for people that are just interested in knowing a little about the VM, to those who want to know how certain things are done, and specially for those that are learning about the VM because they need to extend or modify it. - If you have a heavy question, you will probably not get the answer in this mailing-list but this is not a problem you can ask in the Squeak VM mailing list. - The idea is that we can help each other. So, the link to the mailing list is: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/vm-beginners Address: vm-beginners(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org. Cheers
