Some issues in starting Pharo12 - Re: [ANN] Pharo 12 Release !

by Davide Varvello

Hi Guys, I'm trying to play with Pharo12 so I downloaded it via the Zeroconf script (it seems to me more approachable than the Pharo Launcher).The script (curl -L https://get.pharo.org | bash) got everything for my machine (apple silicon).Â Now, if I run pharo via command line everything is working, but if I double click on Pharo.app and select the image file Pharo.image nothing happens. Can you check that behavior, please?

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.

[Success Story] Support Wizard by Thales

by Marcus Denker

Support Wizard by Thales =================== Support Wizard is an application developped by Pierre Laborde and Eric Le Pors, Global Design and Innovation Leaders at Thales. It is using the latest technological innovations from Pharo to create native and high-performance desktop human-machine interfaces (Bloc graphics engine, Toplo libraries and OS tools). The application is structured with the open-source component architecture framework Molecule. The simplicity and speed of production offered by Pharo and the power of its language allows Thales to focus our efforts on ergonomics and graphic design of the application to offer the best possible user experience.
