Ready to play guinea pig for UI improvements

by stepharo

Hi guys Many of you may bthink that I'm mad or whatever about new UI elements. Sometimes this is true :) but most of the time not. I'm just going straight and (harsh) comments. So what I propose to the GT team is the following: I'm ready to be a guinea pig Each time they want I will record a screenflow of my interaction or perception about new/different tools. I will follow a UI debugging process an expert proposed: talking aloud about my hypotheses while interacting and discovering the tools. I play that in the past with other people and it works well. I encourage other people to do the same to give feeback to GT team. Stef

Re: [Pharo-users] Problem to open Pharo 50 on Windows

by Cyril Ferlicot

Hi, For the latest Pharo 5 you need a new virtual machine: spur. You can get it at http://files.pharo.org/get-files/50/pharo-win-stable.zip To manage your images you can use the latest version of Pharo Launcher that will choose the right VM if you give the paths in the settings.

Has anyone already had this problem and could help me ? Thank you, Justine

Re: [Pharo-users] Use cases for methods with optional parameters

This would be nice to be able to use several different languages "ways of doing things" that would translate into message sends behind the scenes. Helvetia story...

I still have to see a good use case that could justify the use of that. Because it also involves the message lookup, which AFAIK is performed by the VM. Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo

Specific Domain Visualizations: a glimpse of medicine public data released by governments

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi, As I told you before, I have been using Pharo/Moose/Roassal to approach certain problems by agile prototyping and visualization. It has been a really empowering community and technology and even a newbie can feel more eloquent talking to/with computers, so thanks as always. Here is the blog post with more details: http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/sdv-infomed And here the tweet if you're in that network and want to reshare: https://twitter.com/offrayLC/status/689854446541611008 Hopefully I have been clear in the blog, but any advice to my almost self taught English, or proof reading or improvements are welcomed. I also hope putting proper credits to all the people involved in this visualization. And hopefully soon (at some point in February) I will be sharing some advances in the interactive notebook front also. Cheers, Offray

Thanks a lot for pushing this Markus, I think that there should be a clarification on the "$9 - Gold Membership, Pharo Association" because it seems not including the previous ones. Is it that the case?
