Re: [Pharo-users] Problem in installing Pharo â Solved thanks to you

by Ben Coman

Thanks for the followup. Great to hear its working. Just a minor one thing. Can you see if your email client has a "Text Only" send feature that can apply to the mail list? Your font ends up too large & bold here (its nice to have all the mails a standard size), and some of the list archiving software interacts badly with formatted text. Hope you have fun with Pharo and we see you back on the list with more questions soon. cheers -ben On Fri, Feb 10, 2017 at 6:59 AM, Mark Neagu <mark(a)mneagu.fr> wrote: > Hi! > > Several nice persons mailed me to help: Sven, Dimitris, Ben, Nicole. > > Now everything works fine and I'm studying the tutorial. > > You people are really helpful and there is no doubt the PHARO language is > promised to a briliant future thanks to its qualities and to your dedication > at making it work. > > Best regards, > > Mark

Re: [Pharo-users] Final rush for submitting GSOC proposal - Need your help

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Excellent! I will create the proposal to have it ready for tomorrow. Jupyter support could be nice, but I would think is some kind of ZeroMQ support really. That would enable multiple kernels inside Pharo with the advantages of live coding, powerful inspectors and debuggers, not present in the Jupyter notebook interface. Hydrogen[1] and nteract[2][3] are taking this route of enabling Jupyter kernels inside desktop apps with results far more interesting that what is possible on the web interface.

[Teapot and Voyage] sending over the voyageId

by sergio ruiz

I am working on the U of the CRUD part of my Teapot/Voyage REST interface, and found that I cannot get the voyageId to be delivered as part of the REST response.. in order to do RUD, I will need that in the feed. the problem is that NeoJSON uses the instance variables to JSON encode the object. to circumvent this, i made an instance variable called âidâ.. and made an accessor like so: id ^ self voyageId value so i can do something like station id -> â23434234234243423432â but when i inspect the object, or send it back from voyage, id is nil.. rather than mirror voyageâs _id, i would like access to it in JSON encoding, but i can see that might be a problem.. any ideas? thanks! ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary Public Key:Â http://bit.ly/29z9fG0 #BitMessageÂ BM-NBaswViL21xqgg9STRJjaJaUoyiNe2dV http://www.Village-Buzz.com http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101

Hi Mark, can you make you problem more specific. Can you not start or do you crash after start? You donât need to install the Pharo image only copy over into a âfavouredâ directory. I downloaded the http://pharo.org/download and paste it into a directory and it working well on my Win 7 environment without any pharo installation yet.

You mean, you would be the student ? ;-) I can be the mentor. This is nice if we have one subject with already one student. We would like to add a subject with Nick about Jupyter support for Pharo.
