Obviously and well done! I like when developers are talking about names: They use a mac and not a computer, they were nike, lewis and not shoes and pants.... May be we should rename Pharo: programming language. And Voyage: Layer And Athens, Cairo: Canvas And git: versioning system Hibernate? JavaFX?, Graddle?, Travis?, Bintray? Do you want more Docker? So guys can we focus our energy on positive things.

Best method for connecting to an Oracle 11g database

by Aaron Blakeman

Hello, I'm trying to use Pharo 6 to connect to an Oracle 11g database. I tried using dbxtalk with the opendbx driver, but I can't seem to get that to load cleanly into a Pharo 6 image. Before I spend alot of time trying to debug DBXtalk I wanted to see if anyone else had any recommendations. Is there currently any better method for connecting from Pharo 6 to an Oracle database? Thanks!

Hi, On this matter, when I named my project, "Grafoscopio" I thought in something evocative and unique, because of the Spanish words "grafo" (graph) and grafÃa[1][2] (graphy, related with writing like in "ortografÃa" "orthography". After naming it I discover there was a old device related with writing and visualization, also called Grafoscopio[3][4], but I got good search rankings because of the uniqueness of the word[5][6]. Being my first project and lacking any programming style, the "Smalltalk with Style" book didn't make any sense at that time, but now, with more experience, I wonder, from time to time, how I could/should (re)name the software and its classes.

Re: [Pharo-users] [Pharo-Launcher] call for tests on Windows

by Richard Sargent

The good news is that the same version of Pharo Launcher worked essentially perfectly under Windows 10. As expected, the launcher was installed in AppData\Local. However, I continue to find an AppData\Roaming\pharo directory created when the launcher was installed. Its contents are as I described in the issue created for the Windows 7 installation. Suggestion: Some of the lists are quite long. It might be useful to be able to sort them by e.g. name or date of last change, both ascending and descending.
