[ann] moose and humane assessment courses
by Tudor Girba Dec. 17, 2012

Dec. 17, 2012

Hi, In the new year, I will be organizing a couple of public courses around the topic of humane assessment and Moose. These two will be held in Bern: - Humane Assessment Primer on January 25. This course is relevant for both managers and engineers. It covers assessment economics and the means to integrate humane assessment in the development process and in the organization: http://www.humane-assessment.com/courses/humane-assessment-primer - Moose Apprentice on February 7-8. This course is relevant for engineers. This is an introductory hands-on course on using the Moose analysis platform for putting humane assessment into practice: http://www.humane-assessment.com/courses/moose-apprentice Cheers, Tudor -- www.tudorgirba.com "Don't give to get. Just give."

Clearing Change Sorter
by Ben Coman Dec. 16, 2012

Dec. 16, 2012

I rarely use Change Sorter, usually preferring Monticello. However occasionally when I want to submit a small change (particularly when I've fallen far behind the HEAD of a repository) then I do turn to Change Sorter. However Change Sorter is then full of lots of Change Sets that mean nothing to me. Many of these are named of the form "MonticelloPackage.versionNumber" and I can't determine the pattern for inclusion of changes that I make. So... Q1. I can see how to delete individual Change Sets, but how can I delete them all to start with a clean slate (or is that a bad idea?) Q2. What determines which Change Set changes go into. a. Does a Monticello import create a Change Set of that name & version as a one time event, to which further changes are not added? b. Do changes I make to a class in a Monticello package create a Change Set of that name & version. I could do further experiments to try and pin down Q2 myself, but I needed to ask Q1 anyway and I thought others might be interested in the answer to Q2. cheers -ben

Nautilus class methods button feedback. + show method comment on hover.
by Peter H. Meadows Dec. 13, 2012

Dec. 13, 2012

1) When browsing code in nautilus how do you know if a class has class methods? Sometimes I forget to look for them because many classes don't have any. Could the button be changed to give visual feedback when a class has class methods? Maybe tell the user the number of methods? The comment button could do the same, although we already have the red exclamation mark to show classes without comments (which is a great way of encouraging people to comment their classes). 2) Something that would make a big difference to me is showing the method comment when you hover the pointer over a method. Then I wouldn't have to give methods super long names, because I could put details in the comment and get at them quickly.

parse iCalendar (rfc2445) recurrence rules into a Schedule?
by Paul DeBruicker Dec. 13, 2012

Dec. 13, 2012

Hi - Is there a package that will convert an iCalendar (*.ics file, rfe2445) VEVENT and its recurrence/exclusion rules/dates into a Schedule in pharo or squeak or gemstone? I've seen the iCal package on Squeaksource but it doesn't seem to interpret the RRULEs into anything other than their constituent parts. Thanks Paul

Are there any tutorials out there covering the refactoring tools in Pharo2? What I'd like to see are some real world examples of how experienced developers use the refactoring tools.

Generating test data
by Norbert Hartl Dec. 12, 2012

Dec. 12, 2012

My current project (as it grows) becomes quite a complex piece of software. Most of my tests have a huge preamble for setting up test model data for the test. Based on inheritance there are certain aspects unified to save some work. But test data tends to need all permutations of all dimensions of the data to test properly. I wanted to ask what approaches are there for constructing sample data for complex tests. thanks, Norbert
