Re: [Pharo-users] Slot questions
by Paul Davidowitz June 2, 2015

To Camillo Bruni: I'm not using any slot image (I only looked over the paper). According to the Pharo book, 'pvt' should be implemented in the mainstream image. To Marcus Denker: There are actually several methods in the image with the 'pvt' prefix. Please update the doc (Pharo book) to remove talking about 'pvt'. It would have saved me a little headache :)

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

How do I save contents of Workspace into a collection?
by Frank Church Jan. 31, 2015

Jan. 31, 2015

Hi guys, My images are gathering a number of Workspaces whose contents I don't want to delete. I want to create a collection of Workspace contents along this defintion: Description Date Category Content (the actual text in the Workspace). In the final version I would like to be able to select a workspace and simply click a button or a menu item and get a dialog where I can enter the Description, Category and Date with the Workspace contents automatically captured into a text box. Copying and pasting the contents would be okay to start with. Filing it out would be another aspect later. What kind of array would best suited to the task? There is quite a number of them depicted here: http://www.jmcsweeney.co.uk/computing/m206/collections_intro.php What could be the best way to go about it? For those who are curious I am experimenting with the original ideas of Smalltalk where a computer user would do everything in Smalltalk workspace/desktop. I am intrigued by the possibility and somehow it seems eminently doable. -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com

Slots
by Thomas Worthington May 19, 2014

May 19, 2014

I notice that "Slots" are slated for addition in Pharo 3.0. Is there anywhere I can see which model of "slots" is being suggested? I'm not sure that slots, in the sense of Javascript, are a good idea generally and, in the broader context, I'm very unhappy with the idea of messing with Smalltalk's generally clean syntax by adding new language features. Could the desired effects be achieved by subclassing Behavour or somesuch high-level approach? -- Thomas Worthington

Postmark email library
by Francois Stephany Aug. 31, 2013

Aug. 31, 2013

Hi guys, I've made a simple wrapper around the Postmark API. It lets you send emails without dealing with a SMTP server. You can read about it here: http://developer.postmarkapp.com/developer-libs.html http://developer.postmarkapp.com/developer-build.html and there: http://articles.tulipemoutarde.be/send-email-from-pharo-with-postmark It's pretty simple and naive implementation but it gets the job done. I'll add email attachements when I will need it. Francois

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.

Re: [Pharo-users] Phaas - anyone interested in setting up Pharo as a Service?

> he, sorry for insist, but cloudfoundry already does that... and is opensource too :) > at ESUG I seen James present it to deploy pharo images... so is viable :) > > cheers, > Esteban > I agree. And, I was really quite optimistic about cloud foundry when it first came out. I particularly like the way you can have a local micro cloud, and then transition to the hosted cloud. My only disappointment was that VMware are not - seemingly - going to offer gemstone as an option on cloudfoundry.com. Building on what Janko said, I think it is really important to join the cloud 'wave'. The question is how might we - collectively - make this happen? I am perfectly happy to go with cloud foundry, or open shift, or any other option if more knowledgeable people can show that X is the way to go. My only requirement is that I don't want to deal with anyone lower than pharo. All OS patches need to be done automagically by the hosting provider. I think cloudfoundry.com and open shift do that, but my understanding of cloudfoundry.org is that this is a 'roll it yourself' solution. Obviously, that would require someone to step up and do that for us. My preference would be for us to create a suitably configured module for one of e platforms, and we can then start getting experience with it. Stephane, is this something that the consortium might take a lead on? My company is happy to pay some of the costs, if this will help. Cheer Andy
