Searching for a presentation from perhaps ESUG 2013

by Richard Sargent

I was told that during one of the 2013 presentations, someone describe two companies which merged. One company's staffing as ~225 while the others was ~25, the second being a Smalltalk-based application. I am trying to track down the specific details of that. Any recollections or pointers to the details would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Esug-list] New Pharo Collections

by Alexandre Bergel

Hi Alexander, Thanks for your enthusiasm. Collections have indeed many rooms for improvement. Something that I always wanted to try out, is having a morphing abstract data type. You begin with let’s say an ordered collection, and according to what you put in, then it is morphing to a dictionary if necessary. The Lua programming language has this.

Re: [Esug-list] [Pharo-users] [ann] gtspotter: a moldable interface for spotting objects

by Johan Fabry

OK now I get it … thanks for clarifying! I think my confusion stems from the use of ‘category' and then talking about 'the collection object’, which made me think about collections and source code and protocols and packages and I got lost. I think that the sentence of the blog would be clearer like this (uppercase to show changes): To do this, GTSpotter offers an extra action: diving in a RESULTS category. Pressing Cmd+Shift+ArrowRight dives in the collection OF RESULTS OF that category. Thus, we can continue refining the search inside the category. So then, my suggestion for a legend at the bottom of the results list would be: Cmd+Shift+ArrowUp/ArrowDown = Next/Prev category, Cmd+RightArrow = Dive into Result, Cmd+Shift+RightArrow = Dive into Category > On Dec 8, 2014, at 12:48, Tudor Girba <tudor(a)tudorgirba.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Ok.

Re: [Esug-list] [Pharo-users] [ann] gtspotter: a moldable interface for spotting objects

by Tudor Girba

Hi, Ok. Let's take it step by step and see if we cannot find a better way of explaining. Take a look at the first picture in the blog post. Entering GTSpo shows results both for Classes and for Packages. These "Classes" and "Packages" are what we call search categories, and they have associated a query processor that can populate them with results (see the "Spotting your objects" section from the bottom of the post). In our case, we get 39 classes (of which only 5 are shown) and 1 package that match the query. If you want to look at all those 39 classes, you can dive in the whole collection behind the category in a separate step. This is achieved through Cmd+Shift+ArrowRight. Does it make more sense now? I did not consider the category to be confusing. Would you propose another name?
