PBE2?

by Yuriy Tymchuk

Hi everyone, as far as I understand PBE2 is actually deep into pharo. Maybe we should update PBE because when someone new starts to work with pharo I usually suggest him to read PBE. Pharo 3 will have a lot of new cool features, and people have to work with 1.1. What do you think? Cheers! Uko

if Pharo is key for you

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi guys if Pharo is key for you then you should ask yourself what you did for Pharo recently. Writing code, writing documentation helping closing bug entries, participating to the association, to the consortium... Pharo is not happening from spontaneous generation. Stef

I think it's possible to program that window with Mars :) But I also guess that from each row of the tree you can open a pop-up menu with options, right? That is not yet done, although there's some work on it already, and it was among my next steps. Now, a further step would be to "hide" the Pharo image so the Mars application can be launched as a normal native application, but we haven't discussed about it yet :P Esteban, your idea was to do a describe a spec of that window to build the corresponding Mars application? I think that at least the "skeleton" (plain UI) of the Pharo Launcher is simple enough for a new Mars user to do, the MarsClassesAndComments example <http://youtu.be/IRdBHfq1oNk?t=10m57s> is a very very simple application that uses a MarsTree list, so maybe he can base the Pharo Launcher application on that one and then see how to use a MarsButton also by just looking for references of that class in other examples. Anyway, by the end of this week I should have more documentation on how to use each widget.

Though, any syntax is simpler than LaTeX. I haven't used Pier syntax in the past, looks very much like the old "Swiki Swiki" syntax. Regards!

ha! that's exactly what I demanded to the student of "abstract platform spec" as a proof of concept of his work :) (is a good way to match two of the projects I'm mentoring: giving them a common denominator :P) Esteban On Sep 17, 2013, at 1:51 PM, Damien Cassou <damien.cassou(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Carla, > > On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 7:44 PM, Carla F.
