Hi christian cool to know. Pay attention not to do too much :) You can use teapot in Pharo for building a web app in one page of code and I found that quite cool. Stef Le 30/10/16 à 08:39, Christian Haider a écrit :

Hi all,

in two weeks, I am going to give a little talk about Smalltalk: http://metameute.de/nook2016/ .

It is 45 min with students who probably never heard of Smalltalk.

I want to concentrate on the liveliness of the environment with the tools: Workspace, Inspector, Browser and Debugger.

For this, I need a simple but nice example.

I will use VisualWorks 8.2 and Mirko, a new Smalltalk lover, will use Pharo 5.

We want to have the computers connected, maybe also a Pi, to show the platform independence of the image concept.

The first idea was a chat client. A client and a server in one image. Then in two images on one machine, on two machines (also the Pi), maybe in two dialects (VW, Pharo).

Possible to transfer code (blocks) across images (that should blow their minds J).

This is cool, but I am not sure if this is not too much and distracting with other technologies.

Another is to read a csv file or web service and parse it into objects. With the right kind of cool data it is fun to mold these objects for the tools.

This not so sexy, but easy to do from scratch. Unfortunately, the different computers would not play a role.

As you see, I am a bit lost and wanted to ask you guys for ideas.

Happy hacking,

Christian

P.S. Here in Lübeck, a town in northern Germany, the attitude towards Smalltalk is generally positive, interested and curious. Maybe it is time for a Smalltalk renaissance?

I see the next talk is about docker, so live updating images sounds like the right thing to do. In Pharo I mostly show glamour, roassal and seaside. The rewrite engine might also be interesting to show. Stephan Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPhone

Hi Christian, I would try also a not so tight schedule for 45 minutes. At our local hackerspace we have regular workshops/hackathons using Pharo and Roassal. Our approach is described here: [1] https://pharoweekly.wordpress.com/2016/10/26/about-alternate-ways-to-teach-p... So, going to the basics of the syntax and the using it to build a simple app like the Cinemania app using OMDB is good for such short time. I will be updating soon some screenshots for the procedure and notes taken in a Grafoscopio notebook [2] for our ongoing Data Week seven this and next weekends.
