XmlRpcClient for smalltalk ?

by tommy koorevaar

Hello everyone, I'm a French student and I'm working on a project in which I have to send XmlRpc request with smalltalk. Does anyone know if there is anything already implemented I could use ? Thank you very much, Tom

Hi alex Some browsers like the O2 browser supported it but it is a bit ad-hoc and slow. You can try by loading ConfigurationOfO2 from the MetacelloRepository repository.

Hi, when using a SystemBrowser, can there be a navigation history? To explain what iÂ mean, here is an example. WhenÂ you search : Â Rectangle >> flipBy: direction centerAt: aPoint ; Point >> rect: aPointÂ ; Rectangle >> origin: originPoint corner: cornerPoint ; Â Â .. and then want to go back to : Â Rectangle >> flipBy: direction centerAt: aPoint Â , is there some tool allowing to step back ?

[ANN] Pharocasts: SandstoneDb (with subtitles !)

by laurent laffont

Hi, I've just uploaded a new screencast which introduces SandstoneDb (and also HelpSystem). http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/2010/04/sandstonedb-simple-activerecord-styl… Note this is my first one with subtitles. There's a link so you can download it and translate it (some people have asked for that). I've used SubtitleEditor (http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/) but I don't really like it. Do you know a better software on Linux ? The video is accelerated, it's more dynamic IMHO ( to do this in avidemux, just go in video menu, framerate, and put a higher framerate). <http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/2010/04/sandstonedb-simple-activerecord-styl…> Cheers, Laurent Laffont

Implementing a "prototype" in Pharo

by Miso

Hi, I'm trying to creating a concept similar to "prototype" (like prototype-oriented programming) in Pharo. What I want is an object's methodDictionary to be stored in itself. So when I send a message to an instance, Pharo should look in the instance's dictionary (as opposed to class' dictionary) and call method stored there. Closest thing I managed to do was create an anonymous class (subclass on my custom class) for each instance and return instance of this class, and store the anonymous class in the instance so I can work with it. Is there any other way to do it, without modifying compiler/VM or writing custom compiler? If not, please give some pointers where to look for some information about "core" of Pharo.

Re: [Pharo-users] How To Bind To External Libraries in Pharo ?

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi Bill. You have 2 possibilities: 1) Use FFI. With this you can call C functions from shared libraries. No need to recompile de VM. Main problem: it locks the whole VM while the function is being run. The FFI is included in most VMs so it is easy. What you DO need to install is the smalltalk side of FFI. A simple way in Pharo is evaluating: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfFFI'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfFFI) project version: '1.2') load. There are a lot of examples and libraries wrapped with FFI. We developed a wrapper for the OpenDBX library....the project is call SqueakDBX ( www.squeakdbx.org) and would be useful if you want a real example using FFI. FFI: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1414 2) Write your own named plugin. This is, you write your plugin in SLANG (a limited Smalltallk that it is used to write part of the vm and then translated to C) and then, using VMMaker you generate C code, and after, you can generate the binaries. Finally when you distribute your app you will need to add such plugin to the VM. http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/356 http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/464 Particulary for GTK, look at the project (I think it is dead now) SqueakGTK: http://squeakgtk.pbworks.com/ Particuolary for Gstreamer I paste an email from John Macinstosh some time ago:* "Well I'm not sure what you are asking for. The Gstreamer stuff starts at: MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/GStreamer' user: '' password: '' You need a plugin and the GStreamer underpinnings install in your operating system. If you have have a linux box that is easy. If you have a mac, you could use MacPorts to install GStreamer and I could give you a plugin I built for test purposes. As for the Sophie stuff, well it uses FFI for talking to Quicktime, there is an optional quicktime plugin but all that is used for is to let quicktime tell us when it has rendered a frame into a squeak surface so we can signal a squeak semaphore to draw the surface to the Display. The fall back is to do a fixed frame rate drawing cycle, which is what happens on Windows. The Sophie player of course uses Tweak as a reference base, but could be converted to some other UI framework."* Cheers Mariano On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 7:10 PM, Bill Rodgers <mrbillrodgers(a)gmail.com>wrote: > Very cool ! > > Thanks, > > Bill > > > On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 1:58 PM, StÃ©phane Ducasse < > stephane.ducasse(a)inria.fr> wrote: > >> Hi bill >> >> you can use FFI, we should write a chapter.

Hi bill you can use FFI, we should write a chapter. I think that there are some material on the web you can define your own plugin. Have a look for the second on the chapter of the book http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/CollectiveNBlueBook/ On Apr 21, 2010, at 6:41 PM, Bill Rodgers wrote: > Hi Experts, > > How can I connect to libraries of the type that I would "include" in a C program?

How To Bind To External Libraries in Pharo ?

by Bill Rodgers

Hi Experts, How can I connect to libraries of the type that I would "include" in a C program? Must I re-compile Pharo to include them or is there some other way to do this at run-time? I'm looking at some Gnome libraries (GTK+, Gstreamer) which I would like to use from Pharo. Thanks, Bill

[CfP] DLS'10

by Pascal Costanza

Dynamic Languages Symposium 2010 October 18, 2010 Co-located with SPLASH (OOPSLA) 2010 In cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN John Ascuaga's Nugget, Reno/Tahoe, Nevada, USA http://www.dynamic-languages-symposium.org/dls-10/ ***** Call for papers ***** The 6th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at the conference formerly known as OOPSLA is a forum for discussion of dynamic languages, their implementation and application. While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, Self, Prolog, and APL continue to grow and inspire new converts, a new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, Tcl, and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications. DLS provides a place for researchers and practitioners to come together and share their knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and development. DLS 2010 invites high quality papers reporting original research, innovative contributions or experience related to dynamic languages, their implementation and application. Accepted Papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: * Innovative language features and implementation techniques * Development and platform support, tools * Interesting applications * Domain-oriented programming * Very late binding, dynamic composition, and runtime adaptation * Reflection and meta-programming * Software evolution * Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages * Dynamic optimization * Hardware support * Experience reports and case studies * Educational approaches and perspectives * Object-oriented, aspect-oriented, and context-oriented programming === Submissions and proceedings === We invite original contributions that neither have been published previously nor are under review by other refereed events or publications. Research papers should describe work that advances the current state of the art. Experience papers should be of broad interest and should describe insights gained from substantive practical applications. The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its relevance, significance, clarity, and originality. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Papers are to be submitted electronically at http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=dls2010 in PDF format. Submissions must not exceed 12 pages and need to use the ACM format, templates for which can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. === Important dates === Submission of papers: June 1, 2010 (hard deadline) Author notification: July 15, 2010 Final versions due: August 13, 2010 DLS 2010: October 18, 2010 SPLASH/OOPSLA 2010: October 17-21, 2010 === Program chair === William Clinger, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA === Program committee === Robby Findler (Northwestern University) Jeffrey S.
