Mooc on Advanced OO design looking for interested teachers.
by Stéphane Ducasse April 25, 2021

April 25, 2021

Hello I’m starting to write a Mooc on Advanced OO design. It will be in the same format that the Pharo Mooc. I would like to know if some of you can be interested using part of this mooc in their curriculum. It will help me for a funding agency I’m applying to.

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, April 28th. Esteban Lorenzano will give us an update on Pharo: What's new? What is updated? What remains? This talk will present (and show working!) the Pharo 9 roadmap and principal changes made to Pharo since the release of the previous version. Esteban studied Computer Sciences at Universidad de Buenos Aires, and worked since 1994 in many object-oriented and low-level technologies in different software companies, serving in various positions from junior programmer to senior architect. In 2007 he co-founded Smallworks to offer Pharo-based agile development projects. Since 2012 he dedicated full time to developing the Pharo code and community. He works for the Pharo Consortium in Lille, France, as lead developer for Pharo and being responsible with the coordination of new releases and the implementation and maintenance of several Pharo libraries.Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home.

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting - Wednesday March 31st
by Giovanni Corriga March 22, 2021

March 22, 2021

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, March 31st. In this meeting, Juan Vuletich will present a Vector Graphic implementation in Cuis Smalltalk. Graphics for interactive software have traditionally been constrained for performance reasons. The consequence is that most software has serious trouble adapting to higher resolution screens, requires platform specific widget kits, provides limited functionality, and has sub optimal visual quality. But improvements in computing power over the last couple of decades enable a brighter future: Cuis Smalltalk provides a VectorGraphics based implementation of the Morphic UI framework that addresses all these issues. Juan is a long standing member of the Open Source Smalltalk community. He started Cuis Smalltalk ( https://www.cuis-smalltalk.org/ ) 12 years ago and has led it ever since. He has been contributing kernel code to Squeak and the Squeak VM for over 20 years. He holds an Ms.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Buenos Aires. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbryccfbgc/ ) to receive the meeting details. Don’t forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

First Apple M1 for Pharo ready for testing
by Stéphane Ducasse Feb. 16, 2021

Feb. 16, 2021

Hello happy Pharoers Today we could access our building where the M1 machine is and Pablo packaged it so that you can test the first version. Pablo wrote a little blog post for you. https://thepharo.dev/2021/02/16/first-apple-m1-pharo-version/ Let us since we do not have the M1 at hand and waiting to be able to make it accessible from our build farm… but we are not responsible for it and we were waiting…. But the crew was fixing other VM glitches. So we will be ready soon to focus on the Jit version.

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting - Wednesday February 24th
by Giovanni Corriga Feb. 7, 2021

Feb. 7, 2021

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, February 24th. Christian Haider will guide us in a tour of the Amber dialect of Smalltalk and its Silk web framework. In his own words... Amber [1], created by Nicolas Petton, is a Smalltalk implemented in JavaScript running in a web browser. Silk [2], written by the Amber maintainer Herby Vojčík, is a web framework in Amber. I was looking for a good solution for the web for a long time. At the last ESUG, I was bugging everybody about a Smalltalk in the browser, because I decided to redo the frontend of my current project [3] in Smalltalk instead of JavaScript. There were some developments, but only Amber was available. So I tried it for real on a little side project [4] to see if this route is viable - spoiler: it is! Silk, the web framework, caught my attention and I fell in love with it. Silk is very simple, straight forward and powerful, just the properties I love Smalltalk for. A Silk is basically a facade for a DOM node in the browser allowing the programmer to build up and manipulate the DOM in a direct way. Silk is so easy and intuitive that it never stood in the way and just worked. So, I could just concentrate on the complexities of the web (and the app). In this presentation I will walk you through the setup, show you the Amber tools and explore what you can do with Silk. I will try to justify my enthusiasm and appreciation for Silk :-). About me: My name is Christian Haider [5] and I use Smalltalk since the mid-90s. Fortunately, I earn my living with Smalltalk and use it on a daily bases (mostly VisualWorks). I like programming UIs and graphics. My largest open source contribution is a PDF library [6], the most significant one is Values [7].
