Google Code Shutdown
by Sean P. DeNigris Aug. 2, 2015

Aug. 2, 2015

In case anyone hasn't heard, Google Code will shut down entirely on January 25, 2016. I was following these Smalltalk projects there: magritte-metamodel moose-technology seaside marsonpharo nativeboost metacello squeaksource3 phratch The easiest action seems to be to export to GitHub, for which Google Code even provides a button! I just used it for one of my projects and it was pretty painless. - Sean Cross-posted to ESUG, pharo-dev, squeak-dev, seaside-dev, magritte, metacello ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Google-Code-Shutdown-tp4814759.html Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Internship around Smalltalk
by Stéphane Ducasse April 23, 2015

April 23, 2015

Proposition de stage en informatique – Conception d’un éditeur de diagramme de classes UML pour l’implémentation de modèles multi-agents - Dans le cadre du développement de sa plateforme de modélisation et simulation multi-agent, Cormas (http://cormas.cirad.fr) l’Unité de Recherche GREEN du Cirad (http://ur-green.cirad.fr) propose un stage indemnisé de 6 mois pour un étudiant en informatique pour développer un module de Cormas . Ce développement informatique consiste à mettre au point un éditeur graphique permettant de dessiner un diagramme de classes UML et de générer du code SmallTalk (à la fois en VisualWorks de Cincom et en Pharo, open-source) de la structure du modèle en se référant au standard "Executable UML" (xUML) proposé par Mellor & Balcer (2002) and adopté par l’OMG (2003). Pour ce travail, nous ne cherchons pas un éditeur exhaustif intégrant tous les éléments décrits par UML2. Pour cet éditeur, les éléments du méta-modèle proposés seront limités à : la classe, ses attributs et ses méthodes, la spécialisation de classes et les associations. Les associations sont simples (uniquement binaires) et sont définies par leur nom et par leurs extrémités qui comportent chacune un nom de rôle, une valeur de multiplicité et la navigabilité. Cormas étant un framework, le modèle créé par un utilisateur doit s’ancrer sur des classes prédéfinies disponibles dans Cormas. A la fin de la conception de son modèle, l’utilisateur devra être invité à rattacher les classes qu’il a créées aux classes prédéfinies. Dans ce cas, les propriétés héritées (méthodes, associations, attributs, ...) devront être spécifiées dans le diagramme conceptuel de l’utilisateur qui pourra être affiché de façon indépendante du framework. Outre la création dynamique du squelette des classes, le stagiaire devra porter une attention particulière aux associations entre classes uni ou bi-directionnelles qui seront traduites en attributs nommés selon le rôle de l’extrémité de l’association (on parle parfois de d’association dégénérée pour laquelle le rôle de l’extrémité opposée est traduit en attribut). Ne seront pas prises en compte les classes-associations, ni les associations n-aires, ni les associations qualifiées. Cet éditeur permettra également de ré-afficher un modèle déjà sauvegarder mais aussi de proposer de générer un nouveau diagramme à partir d’un modèle déjà implémenté (rétro-ingénierie). Par ailleurs, un éditeur de diagramme d’activité xUML est déjà disponible dans Cormas. En sélectionnant une méthode de son diagramme de classes, l’utilisateur pourra alors dessiner le comportement de cette méthode en décrivant la succession des activités et des conditions booléennes. Bien que la distribution de VisualWorks s’accompagne de quelques outils permettant des aller-retours entre du code Smalltalk et des diagrammes UML (ADvance, Gipa, BOOST, MetaEdit+, DoME, UMLForSmalltalk ou Umbrello,...), le développement de l’éditeur UML devra se faire sous Roassal. En effet, avec la sortie récente de Roassal2, un moteur puissant de visualisation (http://objectprofile.com/Roassal.html) disponible à la fois pour VisualWorks et pour Pharo, la mise au point de ce module UML permettra d’accélérer la migration de Cormas sous Pharo. En option, il sera intéressant de pouvoir générer le code XML (XMI) d’un modèle pour pouvoir le lire dans un autre éditeur. ______ Durée : 6 mois (ou moins si nécessaire) Gratification : 485,10 € par mois. Lieu : pas d’accueil prévu au Cirad. L’étudiant travaillera dans son laboratoire mais des contacts réguliers seront proposés. Contacts : Pierre Bommel (bommel(a)cirad.fr) et Grégoire Leclerc (Leclerc(a)cirad.fr) [PB1] Profil de candidature : Etudiant en Informatique, License ou Master, ayant un goût pour la modélisation et la simulation. L’étudiant doit avoir de bonnes connaissances des concepts de la modélisation objet et d’UML. Des compétences en programmation Smalltalk devront être acquises.

[ANN] Pharo 4.0 is released!
by Esteban Lorenzano April 18, 2015

April 18, 2015

Please spread widely. Sorry for multiple posts. (this post can be see here: http://pharo.org/news/pharo-4.0-released <http://pharo.org/news/pharo-4.0-released>) Dear World, Pharo 4.0 (http://www.pharo.org) is here. Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback. Many things have changed in Pharo. Here are some highlights: - Inspector/Playground/Spotter are new moldable development tools for inspecting, coding and searching objects. - Slots model instance variables as first class entities and enable meta-programming on this level. - ShoreLine reporter introduces a way to report system errors and collect statistics, that we will use for future improvements - Dark theme. These are just the more prominent highlights, but the details are just as important. We have closed 1697 issues in Pharo 4. Take a moment to go through a more detailed recount of the progress: https://github.com/pharo-project/ChangeLogs/blob/master/Pharo40ChangeLogs.md Pharo is improving on many fronts, but one of the most prominent changes is the addition of moldable tools for inspection and search. These tools provide extension mechanisms that allow every object to define ways in which it can be understood effectively. To provide an idea of the impact of the already existing extensions, the map below shows the Pharo classes grouped in packages, highlighting in red those parts of the system that have at least one such custom view coming with the main distribution. The spread of these extensions shows that moldability is powerful mechanism that can be used in many contexts. Remember that Pharo is your platform. We thank all the contributors of this release: Clara Allende, Jean-Baptiste Arnaud, Jean-Christophe Bach, Philippe Back, Clement Bera, Alexandre Bergel, Torsten Bergmann, Vincent Blondeau, Noury Bouraqadi, Santiago Bragagnolo, Johan Brichau, Sven Van Caekenberghe, Damien Cassou, Nicolas Cellier, Guido Chari, Dimitris Chloupis, Andrei Chis, Ben Coman, Bernardo Contreras, Tommaso Dal Sasso, Jan Van De Sandt, Christophe Demarey, Sean DeNigris, Marcus Denker, Martin Dias, Stephane Ducasse, Stephan Eggermont, Luc Fabresse, Johan Fabry, Hilaire Fernandes, Jerome Garcia, Tudor Girba, Thierry Goubier, Jigyasa Grover, Kris Gybels, Norbert Hartl, Dale Henrichs, Pablo Herrero, Nicolai Hess, Pavel Krivanek, Juraj Kubelka, Jan Kurs, Laurent Laffont, Jannik Laval, Kevin Lanvin, Max Leske, David Lewis, Diego Lont, Esteban Lorenzano, Tim Mackinnon, Attila Magyar, Esteban Maringolo, Stefan Marr, Max Mattone, Martin Mc Clure, Eliot Miranda, Alain Plantec, Guillermo Polito, Damien Pollet, Stefan Reichhart, Mark Rizun, Udo Schneider, Ignacio Sniechowski, Henrik Sperre Johansen, Igor Stasenko, Aliaksei Syrel, Ciprian Teodorov, Camille Teruel, Sebastian Tleye, Yuriy Tymchuk, Peter Uhnak, Andres Valloud, Sven Van Caekenberghe, Thomas Vincent, Jan Vrany, Martin Walk, Richard Wettel, Dmitri Zagidulin And all those who contributed indirectly, by reporting bugs, participating in discussion threads, providing feedback... Pharo 4.0 is another big step. And, the best is yet to come. Enjoy! The Pharo Team
