Problems Pharo 3.0 & Windows 8.1 (64 Bit)

by volkert＠nivoba.de

Dear all, i have problems with Pharo 3.0 under Win 8.1 (64 Bit). When i quit Pharo and then restarting the it, Pharo-VM and Windows hangs. After some time (2-3 Minutes), the Pharo VM File Dialog opens. From time to time the Windows Desktop (!) crashes and restarts. No Problems under Windows 7. Looks like a Problem with the VM. Has someone else seen this behavior under Win 8.1?

That is indeed a very good book, a big step above a plain introduction. But the best book is actually AndrÃ©s Valloud's "A mentoring course on Smalltalk" - I can guarantee you it will blow your mind ;-) The cool thing about Pharo/Smalltalk is that once you get the basics (minimal syntax, new approach to development) out of the way, it is all about content after that.

I am deeply in love with "Smalltalk Best Practice and Patterns" by Kent Beck. Its the best book I have read on programming , its clear, 100% practical, straight to the point without unnecessary theories , surprisingly small yet so large . I would recommend it to anyone not just introducing to Pharo , but any programming language out there , OO or not.

I solved many exercices in Project Euler a couple years ago. I'll see if I still remember my username and let you know!

Start with Pharo by Example (PBE), http://pharo.org/documentation Teaching/learning design/style is plain hard and takes times.

Well, there is a good way to start with Pharo by Example. http://pharobyexample.org/versions/PBE1-2009-10-28.pdf 2014-08-25 16:40 GMT+02:00 Ichiseki <is076(a)outlook.com>: > I would love to do that but: > I have neither a good understanding of smalltalk not pharo.

I would love to do that but: I have neither a good understanding of smalltalk not pharo. I don't have a good OO style - I come from a Functional paradigm- I'm not used to variables Of course I've been trying with some of them. But wanted to know it there was a way to check the answers. Not only if they are correct, also if they are in a good OO/Pharo/ST style. thanks Ichiro -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Workbook-exercises-and-problems-tp4774634p4774642.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
