I thought so, too, which is why I wrote this tutorial <https://medium.com/smalltalk-talk/amber-alert-we-can-do-mobile-apps-34b2d4d…> for app development. However, there is some question surrounding Amber's viability in the longer term. And the demand for cross-platform apps may not be as big as we believe... tblanchard wrote > Where do I get this? > > I have to say I kind of think Pharo is missing the boat with regards to > mobile devices.

Re: [Pharo-users] PharoJVM

I think I asked this before (at the start of the year), but if I were given an actual real-world *enterprise* customer /whom I could interview/ to get the *full story* of how they came to use Smalltalk, especially if they were coming from a major language such as Java, and what their particular corporate issues were that compelled them to look for a better solution, then I could run with it and write a lengthy story highlighting the unique advantages of Smalltalk in solving these issues. It would be a huge marketing tool /because readers (hopefully, enterprise users) could identify with the story/ and see themselves following the same trajectory toward Smalltalk/Pharo. Perhaps somebody at ESUG or Pharo Consortium could provide such a reference?

it is still not at the level I would like. Do not hesitate to propose enhancements. I will add the other tutorial I have rescued.

New web tutorial

by stepharo

Hi guys with Olivier Auverlot we did several attempts (over the year) and we are happy to release a first draft of a web tutorial around Pharo. We ask the user to build a simple blog engine. It goes over - Mongo - Seaside - Magritte https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/TinyBlogTutorial/5/artifact/book… Soon Rest/Deployment/Garage?/NeoJSON/XML If you want to participate (translate it to english) or improve it you are welcome. We hope that it will serve as a basis to a lot of Seaside applications. This tutorial will be used in the lecture I'm giving next weeks in Togo and will be edited as a lulu book. Stef and Olivier.

Machine Learning in Pharo

by Evan Donahue

I saw a post on pharo-dev a little while ago about adding some machine learning libraries to pharo, and I was just wondering if there have been any developments on that front. I'm about to do some machine learning work myself, so it might make sense to coordinate with anyone out there already working on it. Cheers, Evan

It is much better done in short iterations. The understanding comes from going through this process often and with many different people. Just try it with current java developers and try to identify a segment that would be interested in smalltalk, and see what story we should tell to get some people in that segment to try it out. > I did identify one thing: get high school students (i.e., young people) > interested in Smalltalk.

(Just > ask David Buck of Simberon.) The hope when improving situational awareness is to provide you with marketing opportunities that take less work (each). The amount of time and money that can be quickly spend on marketing is enormous. We are playing the long game, it is essential that you create enough small successes for yourself to stay motivated.
