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.

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?

New Pharo Collections

by AlexanderBrenchev

Greetings to everyone. My name is Alexander Brenchev, and I want to tell you about my recent project, which will be my pre-bachelor work. The goal of my project is to make a new collections for Pharo Smalltalk. We have a great plans about list of important collections, but we also need your opinion about them. So, feel free to make your suggestions about collections which you want to be implemented. The project page is available here <http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OBrenchev/NewPharoCollections> Now I want to tell something about what I've done so far: 1) A brief documentation about current collections hierarchy <http://pillarhub.pharocloud.com/hub/brenchev/6a1y5kdcbxhpeh7nl52v7s5i3> 2) A workflow of developing new collections for Pharo <http://pillarhub.pharocloud.com/hub/brenchev/6jxn656dns6gzhrno97bw5ktj> 3) Little tutorial which describes how to bring new collections for Pharo <http://pillarhub.pharocloud.com/hub/brenchev/2v6tkm9e2s5xl8xikjg64278j> As you can see, PillarHub will be a platform for my blog, where I will tell you about my faults and victories. I have no great results for now, but I've tested the main idea of collections development workflow, and now i am well-armed to make something that really matters. Stay tuned to PillarHub, ESUG and smalltalkhub to see the latest progress of the project.

Hi, Yes, we will still evolve the UI. At the very least you will get the shortkeys directly on the actions. The answer to your question is in the blog post: GTSpotter offers an extra action: diving in a category. Pressing Cmd+Shift+ArrowRight dives in the collection object containing only the items from that category. Thus, we can continue refining the search inside the category. So, you will open the collection of that sub-category and you will see more items at once (not just 5). Is it clearer now?

Hola, Andrei demoed it to me on friday and it is *extremely* cool. I can’t wait to start using it for my next development session. I have one request though (as I already mentioned to Andrei). Since you are using a significant part of the screen, it would not be costly to (e.g. at the bottom) put a small legend of the non-obvious keystroke combinations. It would greatly increase discoverability of the features of the tool.

[ann] gtspotter: a moldable interface for spotting objects

by Tudor Girba

Hi, Alex Syrel, Andrei Chis and I are happy to announce a new addition to the Glamorous Toolkit: GTSpotter, a novel interface for spotting objects. GTSpotter has two goals: - Provide a uniform yet moldable interface that can work on any object, and - Handle searching through arbitrary levels of object nesting. We think this will have a significant impact on the development workflow in Pharo. Here is a couple of screenshots: [image: Inline image 2] [image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 3] A trailer is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhSmjR3NOlU A detailed description is available here: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/introducing-gtspotter It works already in Pharo 3.0 and can be played with by following the instructions from: http://gt.moosetechnology.org Please let us know what you think. Enjoy, The Glamorous Team

Fwd: Summer School in Bolivia sponsored by ESUG

by Stéphane Ducasse

Dear Smalltalking Friends I would like to this mail with you. ESUG is happy to have supported this cool action. Stef > Dear ESUG Board, > > As you may know, last week was held the Summer School on OOP with Smalltalk, in Cochabamba, Bolivia. We would like to share with you some of great moments we had, and what we plan for the future. > > The week was structured as follow: > - Each morning was Smalltalk classes. On Monday and Tuesday we have theoretical questions and some exercises. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we had small project developments. > - In the afternoon, we had tutorials (Seaside, Gemstone, Fuel, Profiling, Empirical studies) in addition to some academic meetings (with other professors, to foster research in Bolivia). > > Students were really enthusiastic. A core of 20 students attended at all the classes. Few local teachers were also part of the students. > > On Friday, we had a 1 hour session that where students presented and demonstrated their small projects. It went pretty well! Quality of the presentation were excellent, comparable with what we experience in Chile, Argentina or in Europe. > Most of the projects were made around Roassal and Moose. ObjectProfile sponsored a book "Deep into pharo", in addition to some certificated for distinguished projects. > > For the future, we will take the following actions: > - Nelson will work on a Ruby importer for Moose. He is already in contact with people from Bern > - Two students will continue to work on a code execution profiler, we hope to produce an academic artifact from this effort > - Next year we have planed to conduct another summer school > - Some students have also expressed their interesting in doing a Master in Chile > > Here are some links: > http://sla.memi.umss.edu.bo > https://sites.google.com/site/escuelaveranosmalltalk22014/ > https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#AK5nhQSTKlnaq;53972395-E8D5-48EF-A00E-5… > > > Kind regards, > Alexandre > > -- > _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: > Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu > ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;. > > >
