Connecting to a MongoDB Atlas Cluster
by Sanjay Minni March 29, 2021

March 29, 2021

Hi can anyone pls help me with an example of connecting to a MongoDB Atlas cluster (their cloud service). My Atlas cluster replica set is at the urls yyyy-shard-00-00.xxxxx.mongodb.net:27017 yyyy-shard-00-01.xxxxx.mongodb.net:27017 yyyy-shard-00-02.xxxxx.mongodb.net:27017 The MongoDB Atlas website specifies the application connectstring as 'mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@yyyy.xxxxx.mongodb.net/<mydefaultdatabase>?retryWrites=true&w=majority" I saw the doc / example on pharo-nosql/mongotalk but could not figure out in MongoClient - 1. how to get embed the username:password in the connectstring which i feel would be needed, 2. how to specify the default database 3. is it required to specify all three members while Mongo suggests a single part connect string which probably must be covering the cluster thanks ----- cheers, Sanjay -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting - Wednesday March 31st
by Giovanni Corriga March 22, 2021

March 22, 2021

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, March 31st. In this meeting, Juan Vuletich will present a Vector Graphic implementation in Cuis Smalltalk. Graphics for interactive software have traditionally been constrained for performance reasons. The consequence is that most software has serious trouble adapting to higher resolution screens, requires platform specific widget kits, provides limited functionality, and has sub optimal visual quality. But improvements in computing power over the last couple of decades enable a brighter future: Cuis Smalltalk provides a VectorGraphics based implementation of the Morphic UI framework that addresses all these issues. Juan is a long standing member of the Open Source Smalltalk community. He started Cuis Smalltalk ( https://www.cuis-smalltalk.org/ ) 12 years ago and has led it ever since. He has been contributing kernel code to Squeak and the Squeak VM for over 20 years. He holds an Ms.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Buenos Aires. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbryccfbgc/ ) to receive the meeting details. Donât forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

Interested in gig work opportunity?
by James Foster March 14, 2021

March 14, 2021

I have a self-funded hobby project (unrelated to any employer or company) that involves porting some Python code to Pharo. The initial task involves porting about 100 classes with 600 methods and writing tests for each of them and Iâve budgeted US$1200. I realize that this isnât a big job or much money, and Iâm mostly curious to find out whether anyone with the needed skills is interested. If so, please contact me at smalltalk(a)jgfoster.net <mailto:smalltalk@jgfoster.net> with a brief summary of your Pharo and Python experience. Take care not to reply to the group unless you want to let me know publicly that this sort of inquiry is inappropriate or unreasonable! James

Code not showing all items in directory
by David Pennington March 11, 2021

March 11, 2021

Hi there. I am a long time user of VAST recently moved to Pharo. I have a directory that contains 20 JSON items. I am using the following code to load all of them into a collection. bucketList | top fileDirectory bucketList nameList | top := FileSystem disk workingDirectory. fileDirectory := top / 'TinyKVDB' / self bucket. bucketList := fileDirectory children. nameList := SortedCollection new. bucketList do: [ :each | nameList add: each asString ] . ^ nameList The code is only loading 18 of the items in the directory. I cannot see that there is anything different between there 18 and the other 2. Can anyone give me some clues here? David TotallyObjects
