Hi, i donât want to see a specific package explained - i would rather like to watch, how someone will make sense of a package she/he doesnât know (and that does not have much comments..) and tries to read and understand it. I just sit here and try to understand SpectrumAnalyzerMorph - but perhaps this is a bad example, because it is included in Pharo 1.1.1 but doesnât work there. This would be more a debugging show.. What kind of âstrategyâ or âpatternâ do you use to understand a class/package? Where do i start reading in the first place? Do i search messages / try to âfollowâ them using method finder? I tried to file out classes and print them on paper - which was a bad idea.. Do you take notes? Make drawings? Just read along in the SystemBrowser? Can you imagine a bit, what i mean? It is really very basic.. Best regards, Helene. laurent laffont wrote:

Which packages would you like to see explained ?

Hi, i have a proposition for a Pharo-Screencast:
I would love to look over someoneâs shoulder while she/he is *reading* code. A possible plot would be to download something from squeaksource and then trying to make sense out of it - and talking while doing so. (It would also be good to see all the relevant functions of the browser in action).
Background: While i have read some books now (blue book, pharo by example, seaside by example, best practice patterns) i have never actually seen people programming. So i absolutely miss the craftsmanship side of things.
Anyway thank you for Pharocasts. Best regards, Helene. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Screencast-proposition-Watch-someone-read-code-tp32448... Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
