Next step

by Saurav

Hi all! I have been reading the PBE e-book and running the examples and playing away in the Pharo environment. I now have a decent overview of the Pharo environment, the process of developing and writing Smalltalk code for the Pharo implementation (Using the System Browser, classification of classes and methods into packages and protocols respectively, and use of the Debugger). I now want to take the next step for Pharo contribution, and this is something which will really get me into gears. I want to work on the *"**Export Excel files and other spreadsheet related goodies" *project for GSoC 2012 for ESUG. I request for some description of the project from *Carla Griggio *for some pointers, and I will start making my applucation ready to submit. Thank you very much, Best regards, Saurav

Re: [Esug-list] Smalltalk Industry Conference - STIC 2013 with Smalltalk Directions 2013

If you just want the posts from (or about) the conference, use this url: http://www.jarober.com/blog/blogView?searchCategory=stic12 The next two podcasts I'll be releasing are from the conference - Dave Buck and I had a conversation about the talks on day 2, and Bob Nemec and I spoke about the talks at the end of day 3. As Georg said, it was a great show, and I want to thank all of the organizers for their efforts.
