Re: [Pharo-dev] "Atlas is a Spec application" â New blog post on all: objects all: theTime

by Stewart MacLean

Hi Koen, Thanks for a very good summary of Spec and your experience with it. I have encountered similar challenges as you have, and empathise with the frustration of delving into the Spec/Morphic machinery to figure out what is going on. Fortunately, it is constantly being improved. All the best with Atlas.

"Atlas is a Spec application" â New blog post on all: objects all: theTime

by Koen De Hondt

Dear Pharo users and developers, I added the next blog post <https://all-objects-all-the-time.st/#/blog/posts/8> to the series on Atlas, a new browser for Pharo. It describes the relationship between Atlas and Spec, the UI framework of Pharo. The blog post introduces the basic building blocks of the Atlas UI. It also explains the struggle with some aspects of Spec and the Morphic backend. Happy reading! Ciao, Koen

Re: Getting started with the easy projects

by Richard O'Keefe

What I was really asking was about the very basic mechanics of it. "Where are the instructions about how to sign up" meant "do I have to register somewhere and if so where and how?" "Where are the instructions about what to do" meant "suppose I have registered and have the latest Pharo open on my laptop; how do I connect to the repository, how do I submit a change for review?" I have been playing with Pharo since version 1 but I've never actually connected to a repository. I think a "Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Started with Distributed Development in Phraro" probably already exists somewhere, I just don't know where to look for it.
