For PBE what we could do is - create a separate repo - start to update the chapters (their will be really few changes) â this is identifying the changes and updating that is taking most of the time. - now the community could help doing it.

Hello Stephane, Thank you very much for your swift reply. I understand that there are significant efforts involved in updating the book. In general, I find it well written and very helpful. I ran into some issues when trying to apply the new method for testing in Pharo 12, with separate packages for the tests, which was not described in PbE9. So outlining this new test regime would certainly help me. >From my understanding, changes to the Pharo code are always added to the latest download as they are ready, rather than accumulating larger bulks of code for a subsequent controlled version update.

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting: Richard Ronteltap - SmallJS - 26 February 2025

by UK Smalltalk

For our February 2025 presentation, Richard Ronteltap will present his SmallJS project. SmallJS ( https://small-js.org/Home/Home.html ) is a free and open source implementation of the elegant and powerful Smalltalk-80 (ST) language. It compiles to JavaScript (JS) that runs in modern browsers or in Node.js. SmallJS is file based, not image based, so you can develop in your favorite IDE. The default setup is for Visual Studio Code, with ST syntax coloring and step debugging! You code separately from the SmallJS base libraries (image) and only the parts you use are imported automatically when running your app. SmallJS is fully object oriented, so customizable on every level. For usability, ST class and method names are kept mostly equal to their familiar JS counterparts. JS libraries already encapsulated in ST are: Browsers: Document, Window, HTML elements, events, CSS, streams. Node.js: HTTP server, Express, 4 databases, files. SmallJS is mostly intended for use by JS devs that want a nicer language to work in. But it can also be used by existing ST devs that are willing to learn a new ST framework that can directly run in browsers and can seamlessly access the powerful Node.js ecosystem, without the need for bridges between overlapping frameworks. Richard ( https://github.com/FunctionPoint ) studied Computer Science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), where he used used Smalltalk-80 to write a query optimizer for a prototype OODBMS. He currently works in IT / Software Management within the IT department of the UvA. This will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/ukstug/events/305761370/ ) to receive the meeting details. Donât forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

Fostering a respectful Pharo Community

by Esteban Lorenzano

Hello, Pharo is more than just a programming language and a development environmentâit is, above all, a community. As a community, we uphold certain values that form the foundation of our interactions, both technical and non-technical. We believe in human rights and the right of all individuals to live and grow in an environment that respects them, regardless of their choices. With that in mind, we adhere to the principle of the paradox of tolerance: while we welcome open discussions, we do not support intolerance, hate speech, or any attempts to introduce such attitudes into our community. We recognize that we are not just programmers but multidimensional social individuals, and discussions may (and must) sometimes extend beyond strictly technical topics. However, we expect these conversations to remain within the respectful boundaries that ensure a welcoming space for everyone. In this sense, we want to apologize to anyone that may have feel discomfort or concern by the previous discussion. Our goal is to foster an inclusive and supportive environment where all members feel safe and valued. Thank you for your understanding and for being part of Pharo. Esteban, on behalf of the Pharo Board
