Booting into Pharo!

by Mayuresh Kathe

Hello, While I am still waiting for my copy of the PBE, I would like to initiate work on a project (along with friends). The idea is to build a minimalist Linux based system which would boot up straight into a full-screen Pharo environment. The system itself would be single user, consisting of not more than a Linux kernel, a few system utilities (busybox?), X (KDrive?) and Pharo (vm + image + ...). Would like to know if it's some how possible to control external programs from within Pharo, essentially shell scripts for network setup, etc. Thanks, ~Mayuresh

Re: [Pharo-users] Where pharo stores its selfies?

As a side note, open the file browser from the world menu, it should open on that very folder. Or FileList open. in a Workspace. Then when you pick a png there (PharoScreenshot.png for example ^_^) you can right click and say "Open Graphic in a Window".

It will help you understand the general concepts and tools. Pharo 3 and 4 did change lots of things, but most of them are related with performance or different implementations (eg. compiler), so they're transparent to the end user. Regards!

Thanks for that link. Just curious; in what way would the old PBE still be useful for someone very new to Pharo? ~Mayuresh On 2014-09-19 20:32, kilon alios wrote: > I have ported the first 5 chapters to Pharo 3 > -->Â https://www.gitbook.io/book/kilon/pbe [1] > > the old PBE is outdated by still highly useful.Â > > On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 5:18 PM, Mayuresh Kathe <mayuresh(a)kathe.in> > wrote: > >> I believe "Pharo by Example" is the primary book to start-off with >> Pharo. >> A look at the Lulu.com page shows it to be from early 2010. >> >> Would it still be usable with the present version of Pharo? >> >> Thanks, >> >> ~Mayuresh > > > > Links: > ------ > [1] https://www.gitbook.io/book/kilon/pbe

Pharo by Example : Still usable?

by Mayuresh Kathe

I believe "Pharo by Example" is the primary book to start-off with Pharo. A look at the Lulu.com page shows it to be from early 2010. Would it still be usable with the present version of Pharo? Thanks, ~Mayuresh
