Pharo3.0 + Swap Ctrl and Alt keys
by Thushar G R June 21, 2014

June 21, 2014

Hi all, In Pharo 2.0 i find that "Ctrl+d" would do the doIt in workspace. In Pharo3.0 for doIt, i need to do "Alt+d". 1) Is this change intentional? 2) if so am i advised to practice all the shortcuts using Alt keys instead of Ctrl key for pahro 3? 3) Any way to bring back the Ctrl/Alt swap settings (I have asked this before in stackoverflow) 4) Any one knows a hack or workaround for this? Actually i was trying to figure out point 4) but no luck till now. I changed it in keymappings builders in AbstractNautilusUI and similar places but it simply dont work. Any help is appreciated and TIA. G R Thushar

[ANN] LaTeX to Pillar converter
by Damien Cassou June 19, 2014

June 19, 2014

I'm happy to announce that I wrote a LaTeX to Pillar converter. This converter should not be considered perfect and proof reading is required. Still, the converter could automatically convert from: https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoByExample-english/blob/mast… to: https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample/blob/maste… This Pillar file is then exported to either html: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/UpdatedPharoByExample/lastSucces… or pdf: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/UpdatedPharoByExample/lastSucces… -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."

Coding by sending messages
by Matthew Chadwick June 17, 2014

June 17, 2014

hello, It's interesting that in Smalltalk, coding is still done via a text editor, not by sending messages to objects (except in the background, parsing & compiling etc). I've been playing with coding by messaging nodes in the AST with a view to coding this way via Roassal graph visualizations of object dependencies combined with some nice graphical tools. Has any work on this way of coding been done before ? What I have in mind is a keyboard-centric, fast system designed as an alternative to the text editor, with a focus on top-down style coding.

Another Pharo based solution released
by Esteban A. Maringolo June 16, 2014

June 16, 2014

Last Friday my company released a new software solution that involves Pharo in the server side. It consists of a Android based app running on tablets, used for the showcase and sales of products during expos (of retail companies), backed by a Pharo server through a REST API, and with a Seaside based admin/users web. The first expo was during the last weekend (fri-sun), and it involved the sales of a large number of orders and products (I can't disclose the numbers). The scale of the solution/user base is small, far from being "cloud scale", but it is for one of the largest consumer goods manufacturer (and the one who sold the most during the expo). Anyhow, the server handled all the request perfectly, without a single glitch. We already have some future expos scheduled. So it will continue to run along the already running Pharo based solution in the same company. Best regards! Esteban A. Maringolo

Custom layout in Spec
by webwarrior June 16, 2014

June 16, 2014

I want to make a layout based on TableLayout. Taking SpecLayout as example, it seems that I also have to create model class similar to ContainerModel and adapter for it. However, I noticed that SpecInterpreter has some hardcoded behaviour for ContainerModel in computeSpecFrom:selector: method. Is this behaviour really important, and if yes, how can I replicate it? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Custom-layout-in-Spec-tp4762142.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
