Are there others than morphs? I will go with Glamour for the moment, but i am still interested in this. I hope for more Spec documentation :) Martin. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Roassal-Spec-tp4690745p4691191.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi Tudor, thank you very much. That looks amazing. I just start to look at all the examples in the Moose image. In my case the upper two panes would display the same object, only with different views on it (a graph and a list), and the selections would be syncronized (select an element in the graph - the same element will be selected in the list and vice versa). Is this as easily possible? Martin.

I'd like to mention a few facts: 1. I used to think Smalltalk is dead. 2. I used to think Smalltalk, even if not dead, is only being used in universities. 3. I used to think Smalltalk world is far behind the modern web aspects/framework/technologies. It's been less than a week that I started to give Smalltalk (Pharo) a try -and to be honest I chose to do so just to see what is Seaside. And to my utmost surprise all of the above assumptions turned out to be moronic per-assumptions (though hugely popular). I come from the Java world which I'd say is the richest and most evolving ecosystem for web development. But I was shocked by design, quality, simplicity, cleanness and feature-set of Seaside. And if you ask me nothing matches it even in the wide range of Java web frameworks. I believe, Seaside is a sample of what Smalltalk world has to offer (correct me if I'm wrong) and it's a real pitty that frustrated developers/companies using Java or .NET don't know about such a thing. PS: I have some general suggestions but, honestly, I thought I'd hold them as I'm not a pro Smalltalk'er :-) -- Bahman Movaqar (http://BahmanM.com) ERP Evaluation, Implementation, Deployment Consultant

Pharo consultants

Hi guys I think that we are doing a poor job selling ourselves. I think that the quality of our community is in general excellent but we do not sell it. I think that we are not using well the association. I think that this is REALLY important for a larger adoption of Pharo that the world knows that we have excellent guys around that can consult. So what do you think? I would use the association in a much clearer way. Stef
