Hello
by Ichiseki Aug. 1, 2014

Aug. 1, 2014

Hello I'm totally new to Pharo and Smalltalk, but not new to programming. I want to learn Pharo and Smalltalk especially to use Moose, Roasall and other data visualization frameworks. Where should I start? I have lot of time to study and want something intensive with exercises and a solid theory background. thanks Soseki Ichiro -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Hello-tp4771473.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dear All, The chapter âQuickStartâ is now online on http://agilevisualization.com This chapter comes with some examples about using Roassal.

pharo-launcher ppa - 32-bit OS problem
by Ben Coman Aug. 1, 2014

Aug. 1, 2014

I successfully used the "Ubuntu ppa" instructions at http://pharo.org/download to install Pharo Launcher on 64-bit Linux Mint 17, but doing the same on 32-bit Linux Mint 17 gives an error... $ sudo apt-get install pharo-launcher The following packages have unmet dependencies: pharo-launcher : Depends: pharo-vm-desktop:i386 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. This is both without and with the second line "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" since I wasn't sure if it made sense to do this when already $ dpkg --print-architecture # reports... i386 The following worked without error $ sudo apt-get install pharo-vm-desktop I had a look at the package info with... $ sudo apt-get download pharo-launcher $ cp /var/cache/apt/pharo-launcher*deb /tmp $ cd /tmp $ dpkg -I pharo-launcher*deb which displayed... Architecture: any Depends: pharo-vm-desktop:386 and it seemed to me the hardcoding of :386 might be the trouble, and wondered if the following would work better for both 32-bit and 64-bit OS? Architecture: i386 Depends: pharo-vm-desktop I repackaged the deb per instructions at http://ailoo.net/2009/06/repack-a-deb-archive-with-dpkg-deb as... Package: pharo-launcher-test With a local repository set up per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal the following worked. $ sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated install pharo-launcher-test $ pharo However I no longer have the 64-bit LinuxMint install to test if this change is compatible. Can someone do this? cheers, Ben

Copy/past doesn't work sometimes
by Julien Delplanque July 31, 2014

July 31, 2014

Hello, I'm using pharo 3.9-7 and I notice that sometimes the copy/past function from another program to the pharo IDE doesn't work. For example, if I copy something from my internet browser (Chromium) to a workspace in the IDE it doesn't work. I also notice that if I copy something from my text editor (Sublime text) to a workspace it works...

[Article] Elegant Pharo Code
by Sven Van Caekenberghe July 29, 2014

July 29, 2014

Hi, I have written a new article presenting Pharo using a list of 23 short examples. Elegant Pharo Code Beautiful & Powerful One-liners, Expressions and Snippets https://medium.com/@svenvc/elegant-pharo-code-bb590f0856d0 As mentioned at the end of the article, I welcome feedback, remarks, comments, alternative solutions and other examples. The idea is to create yet another way to lure people into exploring Pharo while explaining by example why we like Pharo. Enjoy!

Re: [Pharo-users] [Moose-dev] Tree/Outliners of playgrounds, markdown inside comments and some quick medium size dreams for Pharo/Smalltalk

Hi Offray, Something that I usually do, is to simply subclass MooseEntity to create the hierarchy of my domain. I can then enjoy the moose panel to browse my model.
