Re: [Esug-list] moose = smalltalk ambassador

by Niall Ross

Dear Tudor, this is great; this kind of making the outside world aware of Smalltalk is just what we need. Jazoon (http://jazoon.com) is before ESUG 2011 in Edinburgh. I hope you will take the opportunity while there to advertise us. You can download the conference poster (high-resolution jpeg or pdf) from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7726739/ESUG_Promo.jpg or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7726739/ESUG_Promo.pdf and the conference flyers from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7726739/ESUG_Postcard.pdf and the website is http://www.esug.org/Conferences/2011 I look forward to seeing the latest state of moose in Edinburgh.

moose = smalltalk ambassador

by Tudor Girba

Hi, Moose (http://moosetechnology.org) is a Smalltalk ambassador. Actually, I think it's the best ambassador we have right now to persuade professional developers to look into Smalltalk. Let me tell you why. Moose is a platform for software and data analysis and includes components like: Glamour, Mondrian or PetitParser. Moose solves a real and important problem that developers (both Smalltalkers and non-Smalltalkers) have: how to improve the productivity of the effort spent on assessment. Moose is an innovation in this domain because it enables a completely different approach through which developers craft their own tools fast (http://humane-assessment.com) The cool thing is that they build these tools by programming Smalltalk in Pharo, and thus they get to learn the language and the platform first. Moose also comes with exposure. For example, this year I will be presenting Moose and humane assessment at some large industry oriented conferences: - Jazoon (http://jazoon.com) - GotoCon Aarhus (http://gotocon.com/aarhus-2011/) - GotoCon Amsterdam (http://gotocon.com/amsterdam-2011/) All in all, if you want to promote Smalltalk, and Pharo in particular, you might want to look into it. And you are always welcome to contribute, follow us and make noise: - http://www.moosetechnology.org - http://twitter.com/#!/moosetechnology - http://www.facebook.com/pages/moosetechnologyorg/152851281427491 Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "No matter how many recipes we know, we still value a chef."

I forgot to mention that in our university, since several years (5 or 6 I can't rember) we are proud to have a Smalltalker as a member of our steering committee as a representative of the software industry. And guess who is this Smalltalker : Georg Heeg (founder of Heeg e.k and STIC Executive Director) :-) BTW, I started teaching Smalltalk in Ecole des Mines de Douai since 2003 (I taught it elsewhere before).

Hi Geert, Luc and I do teach Smalltalk in our university (Ecole des Mines de Douai, http://www.mines-douai.fr) We do use Pharo. We're located in the city of Douai in the north of France (30 km from Lille).
