Extending a Pharo App with remote content
Hello, I am thinking about an educative oriented application to learn math, and I would like the application to be extensible with remote contents (from the cloud). I am wondering: how will you extend a given Pharo application with remote contents (code and data) ? For code, I guess Fuel will be a nice candidate to install remote code in a given Pharo Application. But what about data as graphics and sounds. Do we some kind of package system for both data and code? Thanks for any tips. Btw, being unable to browse SmalltlakHub projects is kind of suicide for the community.

Hilaire Hilaire have a look at the code updater because it looks on a server for a file and download other files based on the first tile. you can send a zip file that contains code and fuel object. In fact .sar file was just a zip file renamed with some code. You can install sounds in Pharo as object or you can install them as a file using fuel. Fule can be used to send code but this is more experimental. Tanker is not ready. stef On Sep 27, 2013, at 8:27 PM, hilaire <hilaire.fernandes@gmail.com> wrote:

As Stef says, Tanker is a prototype we built to export/import code using Fuel. It showed us great power, like loading whole seaside in 10 seconds. But still, it is an experiment, and there are two or 3 things that should be done/completed so that it could be considered stable. Search in the web, I presented it at ESUG (don't remember which year), Max presented it in PharoConf, etc.... Cheers, On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 4:42 PM, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr

Hi Hilaire, This is entirely off-topic, but I know you develop on iPad and I am guessing you are generally interested in Maths teaching... So I just want to to tip you on a really unique app that teaches basics of algebra to kids that my five year old enjoys playing it. Its called Dragon Box. I'm posting to the mail-list in case anyone else with kids finds it interesting. cheers -ben hilaire wrote:
