Creating a FSReference

by Sean P. DeNigris

What's the easiest way to create a reference to, say, /dev from a string? I came up with "FSFilesystem disk root resolveString: '/dev'." Anything better? Also, what's the difference between FSReference>> resolve: resolveString: ? They both seem to do the same thing in this case. Thanks.

Exception style

by Jeff Gray

I have just watched James Robertson's Exception screencast on exceptions in Pharo. I haven't really bothered with it previously as I have only played around and haven't done anything in anger. My commercial background in Java and C# has been with quite different styles of exception handling. Java was always cluttered with exception handling and re-throwing all through the code whereas in .net it was very much a 'let it bubble up to the container' approach. Although James screencast shows the mechanics of exceptions I'm wondering what is a normal exception handling strategy in Pharo? Obvoiusly tutorial code doesn't want to get bogged down with exceptions when trying to teach a specific aspect in smalltalk/pharo/oo etc but I'm yet to see tutorial example code that handles exceptions. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Exception-style-tp3962162p3962162.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
