Help (perfect for newcomers) migrating a technical FAQ
by Mariano Martinez Peck April 9, 2011

April 9, 2011

Hi folks. I had a good idea and and it perfect for someone that wants to help and don't know how. It is not the most entertained task, but I promise you will learn a lot. Mostly, if you are newcomer. The idea is basically to migrate the FAQ that is here: http://scg.unibe.ch/wiki/faq/pharofaq to a new section in the collaborative Pharo book: http://book.pharo-project.org/ So....any takers ? Let us know so that we generate a new user in the Book The idea is also to check whether what is says is still correct for pharo or if it needs an update. Or even how to improve it (from the view of a newcomer). Thanks Mariano

WebClient
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Aug. 24, 2010

Aug. 24, 2010

Hi, Andreas Raab's 'new' WebClient/WebServer seems quite nice, as he says himself: As a result, we now have what I think is a pretty decent HTTP server and client implementation for Squeak 4.1 and hopefully we can nuke HTTPSocket sometime soon. WebClient is superior in every respect. Is this something that will / should fit seamlessly into Pharo ? Or even become preinstalled ? I didn't try his ConfigurationOfWebClient since the last version was unreadable and it seemed like an experiment, while his textual explanation was easy to follow. To load it into and to make the unit tests run in Pharo 1.0 I had to make a couple of fixes (to WebCookie#printOn: and WebServer class#serverString). Who should I sent these changes to ? But even then 1 unit test failed (#testServerDestroy). Furthermore, some the changes in his package WebClient-Pharo seem a bit dangerous, especially a modification to SocketStream#peek (and the failed test was doing a peek) and an override of String#, some others are unneccessary as far as I can see.

[Survey] Assess the cycles in your software
by Laval Jannik Aug. 24, 2010

Aug. 24, 2010

Hi Pharoers, and Smalltalkers in general, Have you seen waited to assess the cycles in your software? Now you can :) We request some of you to perform an experiment using DSM to see your software package structure and to fix cycles between packages. Our tool shows dependencies between packages and highlight some bad dependencies generating structure cycles. It also helps to understand dependencies. Your goal is to fill a survey using our tool. I prepared a mini-tutorial about DSM and eDSM. It can help you to understand the visualization tool. To ease the use of our tool, I loaded it in a PharoCore1.2. And there are two archives available: - the first contains an image with our tool with a model of Pharo loaded in it, so you can play with our tool on pharo itself. It can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7739334/dsmWithPharo.zip. Pay attention, the image is slow. - the second contains the same thing without the model of Pharo. Here, you have to load your code, then populate a moose model and use the tool. It can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7739334/dsmWithoutPharo.zip The two archives contain the tutorial and the survey. If you are a pharo integrator, we suggest you to take the one with Pharo model loaded, else the other. To use our tool, load your tool in Pharo. Then do "MoosePanel open", and import your software in Moose by "import from Smalltalk image". When it is imported, select your project in the list on the left of MoosePanel, and select "all model packages" on the list on center. Then, you have two choices: - you can scan all your project: right click on "all model packages" and do DSM. - or select "all model packages" then select some packages in the next list and right click, do DSM. After that, you can perform the survey (with reading of the tutorial). We need your answers for the end of August. So, you have two months to do it. If you have any question, just let me know. Best regards, Jannik. --- Jannik Laval PhD Student - Rmod Team - INRIA Certified Project Management Associate (IPMA) http://www.jannik-laval.eu http://rmod.lille.inria.fr ---

The list is empty when you just have initialize the RecentMessageList (ie the first time you launch it) but you can reset the list by sending : RecentMessageList resetUniqueInstance Otherwise it's never automatically cleaned (but you can remove each node you want) I know the recent messages by registering the class in the SystemChangeNotifier, and they are stored in the RecentMessageList uniqueInstance messageList > > > Thank you very much and continue with the good work! Maybe once we can include it by defult in Pharo. > yes this is the point. Thank you both for your advice

Hi everyone, Two questions: 1) How do I get my Pharo 1.0 to "upgrade" to the 1.1 image? 2) How do I make a "one-click" image that will start my app when clicked? Sorry if these are FAQs, but I couldn't find answers via Google. TW

To launch it, just click on the World >> Tools >> Recent Messages. You can set it up in the Setting Menu >> Code browsing >> Recent Message. Thank you Ben
