funny idea Symbol vs. Selector
by stephane ducasse May 14, 2015

May 14, 2015

Hi guys I'm thinking aloud... I was wondering if we could not take advantage of a new class: Selector. MethodDict would only contain selectors and not symbols. I remember that I talked about that with hernan. Stef

Package browser?
by Rob Vens June 28, 2013

June 28, 2013

I am attempting to do the Pharo by Example book, but a package browser (which is used in the examples) is not in the 1.1.1 or 1.2 image. Should I still use categories? If I create a package in Monticello browser I am not able to add classes or anything (not as far as I could see). Just starting out using Pharo, so apologies if these questions are already answered elsewhere.

Actors library
by Alex Schenkman Jan. 24, 2012

Hi list, Is there an Actors library already available in Pharo? The part I'm interested in is the asynchronous message passing. If it has been done already, why not reuse? Thanks in advance!

[ANN] Pharo Glorp port release
by Guillermo Polito Oct. 13, 2011

Oct. 13, 2011

Hi! We are reaaaaally happy to announce (at last) a very very stable release of the new Glorp port :D. We've done a lot to achieve the following results with Glorp: OpenDBX Oracle: - 7 errors related to Blobs, which are not supported by opendbx. - 1 failure related to timestamp cast (and I don't understand the test intention yet :P) OpenDBX MySql: - 100% green tests :D OpenDBX PostgreSQL: - 7 errors and 1 failure related to Blobs, which are not supported by opendbx (again). OpenDBX SQLite: - 6 failures related to large objects, which are not supported by opendbx (again again).. 2 (expected) failures related to times & dates. Native PostgresV2 Driver: - 2 failures with blobs So far, some FAQs: *Â¿What is the difference between this port and the old one?* Almost 4 years of work of the VW team with tons of bugfixing (see the last 4 years release notes from Glorp for more detail :P) *Â¿How can I load it?* If you want to load Glorp + OpenDBX, you can try the following: *Gofer it squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX'; load. (((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX) perform: #project) perform: #version: with: #stable) load* Also, you can try loading only Glorp (maybe because you want to integrate it with your own database driver): Gofer it squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGlorp'; load. (((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlorp) perform: #project) perform: #version: with: #stable) load *Â¿How did we test it?* We've tested it in Pharo 1.2 and Pharo 1.3 + Jenkins CogVms. *Â¿What's coming next?* *We are working for your happiness (?).* Hehe, our next step is to release the DBXMagritte project, which aims to allow people working in the Software business to create easy CRUD -the same scaffolding idea from RoR for example- including some of the following features: - (create a class model + magritte descriptions) from a database schema - [if you already have a descripted class model] use magritte descriptions to create a database schema - use magritte descriptions to create glorp mappings And then, you can use the same descriptions for your Seaside app, or in every magritte-friend framework you like ;) So, thanks again to ESUG for sponsoring the project :).

SystemReporter for Pharo [WAS] Fwd: [Pharo-project] [update 1.4] #14177
by Mariano Martinez Peck Sept. 30, 2011

Sept. 30, 2011

Hi guys. This is a small tool done by Alexander LazareviÄ to get information from the system. Very useful when reporting bugs. So keep it in mind. You can do SystemReporter open. or directly open it from the menu System -> SystemReporter. Alexandre: we found an implemented message #environ in: reportOSEnvironment: aStream | env | self header: 'Operating System Environment' on: aStream. env := [Smalltalk os environ] on: Error do: [^self]. env keys asSortedCollection do: [:name | aStream nextPutAll: name; nextPut: $=; nextPutAll: (env at: name); cr] so...it seems broken. If you want to take a look to the changes we have to do in order to make it work in Pharo: http://www.squeaksource.com/SystemReporterPharo Cheers ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marcus Denker <marcus.denker(a)inria.fr> Date: Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 11:43 AM Subject: [Pharo-project] [update 1.4] #14177 To: An open mailing list to discuss any topics related to an open-source Smalltalk <Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr> 14177 ----- Issue 4851: We should integrate systemReporter http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=4851 -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Hello, After a long wait... finally: http://www.youtube.com/user/esugboard#grid/user/843D1D545F9F52B6 This now has: - Extensive, great two part PetitParser Tutorial by Doru (3 hours) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgiJG3Vd6KU If you ever wanted to write a Parser, this will give you a very understandable, step-by-step introduction. - Enhancing SqueakNOS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9RUmIY2Sz8 Crazy, these Argentinians... - NativeBoost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd6mz6F167s Generate Binary code from the image. And a *very* fast FFI as an example. Guido and Javier of the SqueakNOS video above are right now busy here in Lille building something *very* interesting with NativeBoost... - FFI, an introduction by Igor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU8XRCO7MUU What is FFI and how do we use it? - and the first part of "A little Journey in a Virtual Machine" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJQmjhOvjUs This has 5 (!) parts and together with the FFI presentation, this allows you to experience the very first lecture ever given by Igor Stasenko. More to come... but this already might keep interested people busy for some enternaining evenings :-) We will post all the rest step by step. The ESUG Youtube account has more stuff posted already, e.g. the talks of this years IWST Workshop and some talks of ESUG2011, and the classic talk of Doru from ESUG 2008 showing how (not) to give ESUG talks.
