finding the parent of a filereference

by Tudor Girba

Hi, I would like to find the parent of a FileReference. For example: /a/b/c ==> /a/b I could not find any straightforward way. The one I found was to go via the path and do: aFileReference path withParents reverse second asFileReference Is there no other way? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"

Rather, I want to support and promote your ongoing efforts. I have followed the inception and growth of your consortium. I am very inspired and encouraged by the progress you've made in such a short time. Smalltalk is definitely not dead! I want our company to join the consortium and contribute. My partner and I are planning our budget for it. In my reply to Tudor, I mentioned some work we've done and are doing with Pharo. It will take some time, but I will flush out better descriptions as "success stories" for you. I hope to obtain permission from our clients to include some of their branding and media.

It's a new and interesting aspect of software development for me. I will work on some "success stories" to submit, but, quickly, we've used Pharo to write (and rewrite): - about a dozen web-based internal and customer applications for a client and business partner in the event management and ticketing industry; - an ecommerce site for a seed company is in development; and - several internal web-based applications and system control daemons for a call centre.

[ANN] CJSolver

by Luc Fabresse

Hi all, As a teacher, I always try to find new programming exercices for students. I discovered the CodeJam coding contest that provides problems and their data sets. We can also upload a solution on the website and it tells us if it is right or wrong. Example of problem: http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/dashboard?c=351101#s=p2 So, I did a little framework (CJSolver) to make it easier to read data sets and write result files. More info here: http://car.mines-douai.fr/2014/01/cjsolver-a-framework-to-solve-problems-of… The code is on Smalltalkhub but since I also wanted to commit data set files and correct results, I also have a github repo here: https://github.com/LucFabresse/CJSolver You can checkout the code, test it, implement solution to other problems or *optimize* already implemented solutions (I did the simplest version ;-)) and sometimes it is slow on big data sets. have fun, #Luc
