Run old 32-Bit image on 64-Bit macOS
by Steffen MÃ¤rcker Feb. 3, 2022

Feb. 3, 2022

Hi, I am looking for a way to run an old 32-Bit image on a modern Mac (Montery). Pharo launcher gives me the following error: Cannot run Prism Grammar (Pharo 6.1)! This image requires a 32-Bit VM to run and 32-Bit applications are not supported on this Operating System. Is there a way to run it nevertheless? I want to extract some old app/code from the image for further use. Best, Steffen

mentor wanted for a web application
by Roelof Wobben Feb. 2, 2022

Feb. 2, 2022

Hello, I like Pharo a lot and I like to make a web site with it for a volunteer organisation. For the web site I need a login system. And some products which can be "borrowed" by a client which has a subscription. We have also some volunteer in the "shop"Â where a client can also "borrow" some toys. So a client can "borrow"Â some toysÂ in the "shop" and also on the internet. So I hope someone can and will be a mentor for me so we discuss the best way to make such a website. So which "framework"Â to use and which database to use and which classes I need Regards, Roelof

What can you do with Pharo?
by contactme＠kathe.in Feb. 2, 2022

Feb. 2, 2022

I am new to Pharo, so pardon my ignorance. I used to be a professional developer between 1996 and 2007 during which time I developed personal Management Information Systems for employees at my company's HRD using Microsoft Access, then moved on to leading a team of C++ developers to build a graphical operating environment atop the bare Linux kernel, then took up rapid prototyping using PHP at various Web-related startups. I have been aware of Smalltalk since 1999 and have only fiddled-around with it, though have failed to learn how to produce software due to the different syntax (as compared to C++ and PHP). I would like to focus on Smalltalk more seriously and found the cleanness of Pharo to be quite refreshing. My problem is that I can't figure out what I could build using the wonderful tools in the amazing environment that is Pharo. Project ideas are most welcome, though, I no longer wish to develop for the Web. Best regards, ~Kathe Â
