Haver a Cuis based Smalltalk with Modules
by Gerald Klix May 11, 2021

May 11, 2021

Hi all, I am proud to announce the second alpha-release of Haver, a Cuis based Smalltalk with extensive support for Modules, including Browsers for module-management. No more name clashes! You can find more about Haver at: http://haver.klix.ch In addition to the Browsers it also features a Wizard to automatically manage exporting and importing classes form and into other modules. Haver is a complete distribution of Cuis with all packages from the various Cuis Smalltalk Repos at https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk. Virtual Machines for Linux X86, Windows and Raspberry OS are also included. Of course the virtual machines include Juan's awesome VectorEnginePlugin. Many thanks to Juan Vuletich for providing a simple and understandable Smalltalk implementation. Please note: Haver is not a fork of Cuis, it is an extension. Have fun and Best Regards, Gerald Klix

about class name
by Stéphane Ducasse May 9, 2021

May 9, 2021

Hello Pharoers we are running building a tool to help understanding if class names are consistently named in a project. We run and are running xp with some of you. Now I was thinking that the idea and the tool could interest many of you. So if you want to run the xp here is the text: Nour is developing a tool to support the understanding of the coherence of class names. We would like to invite you to do a small experiment. The tool presents a visualisation of the distribution of the prefix/suffix (first/last word) extracted from class names. The idea is to detect inconsistencies in class names and correct them for a healthy evolution of the system. XP: === You can do the xp with other colleagues, it would be nice is you can do separately and then discuss together. But this is up to you. 30 or 60 minutes of your precious time should be enough to do the experiment which is planned as follows: - Read the pdf. This support contains detailed information and principles of the ClassNames Distribution. - how to load the tools - Help for the tool also provides a small summary of these principles as a reminder. - To have detailed feedback from which we can extract the necessary analysis, we would also like you to screen record during the whole experiment, and to talk freely. - Use the tool to detect inconsistencies, write down the changes you would like to make and discuss the classes you would like to rename. - Send us feedback (videos + number of renaming + ///) - Any other feedback is welcome :) we can help Let us know if you encounter problems. This experiment (with your feedbacks, the way you use the tool, the changes you would like to do…) is part of the validation of our tool that we would like to describe in the journal paper we are currently preparing.

by Johan Brichau May 6, 2021

May 6, 2021

Yesplan is an intuitive venue management web application. We are the leading software system for small and large theaters, concert halls and event venues in the Benelux and currently expanding in Europe and beyond.

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!
