Phil,
Exactly that's my point I don't know if its possible to generate PDFs in
Windows. In OSX works fine...because pdf2latex is there

Re: [Pharo-users] smalltalk, objects and design - chamond liu

2015-01-25 Thread Ignacio Sniechowski
It's a very good introductory book for Smalltalk in general but it is not
focused on Pharo but in IBM's Smalltalk. It has a good treatment of OOP,
and the basic classes. But if you want to learn about specific Pharo
frameworks and APIs it wont help you that much.

Thierry,
Pharo runs in the previous RPI, the problem actually is not more horsepower
but a JIT VM.
I think Tim was working in that, but the VM is not quiet there yet.
>From my experience, Pharo at this stage is only barely usable.  But if the
VM was similar in specification to that of the x86 architecture I can bet
that Pharo will run perfectly well doing some tricks.

Re: [Pharo-users] On GUI design and how to benchmark it

2015-02-16 Thread Ignacio Sniechowski
Sebastian,
Thanks for sharing this. I found the thesis interesting.
There are several points that are worth take into account:
He says when analyzing the possible outcomes of his thesis that:

"Putting paradigms aside, another possible outcome is that the language’s,
the IDE’s and/or the toolkit’s role in GUI development is much more crucial

than the role of the paradigm."
Which I think is probably the case of Pharo.
Also in another part:

"The existence of GUI builders for nearly all popular GUI toolkits
demonstrates

that there are reasons for avoiding manual layout specifications in

code. Of course, GUI builders have some inherent advantages9 such as easier

discovery of all the widgets, immediate design feedback for prototyping and

little need to learn the layout API which in principle allows
non-programmers

to create the layout. Still, the question is whether the paradigm, language

(environment) or toolkit can reduce the demand for a GUI builder which

would lead to simpler tooling requirements or, at least, to a convenient

alternative for situations where for some reason or another a GUI builder

cannot be used."

And I think in the case if Pharo we should have a combination of both.

Also the discussion of whether the UI toolkit should have an implementation
language different of the DSM or if it should have the same is interesting.

Again thanks for sharing.

cheers

Nacho

Re: [Pharo-users] The Pillar TextMate plugin can now preview Pillar files

2015-04-28 Thread Ignacio Sniechowski
Luc,
Thanks to you for developing this!
Unfortunately I get this error now:

Typeset and view: line 17: /Aplications/Pharo4.0.app/Contents/MacOS/Pharo:
No such file or directory cat:
/Users/nacho/GitHub/EnterprisePharo/Fuel/Fuel.html: No such file or
directory

And I've checked and the Pharo VM is there as well as the image.
One question. Besides Pillar should I install something else?
Thanks Luc
cheers

Re: [Pharo-users] tiny survey: who uses Pharo Launcher?

2014-04-19 Thread Ignacio Sniechowski
Esteban,
I use it a lot, in Mac OS X. One thing that I noticed is that even if you
delete an image from the Launcher, the image stays in
~/Library/Preferences/Pharo/templateCache as a .zip file. If you download a
lot of images then this directory grows considerable.

Re: [Pharo-users] compiling Pillar files locally (for LaserGame book)

2014-05-05 Thread Ignacio Sniechowski
Ben,
1) Yes, it is possible. You could check the compile.sh script that is in
the PharoForTheEnterprise repository in GitHub. It does exactly that.
2) Yes you have to have TEXLive installed.
3) If you install it on Mavericks check the paths. TexLive now install into
a weird location and you should add that location to your path or else
you'll get an error.
4) To edit pillar text I use TextMate with Uko's bundle.

I don't know if this feature still exists on Pharo. I achieved good reselts 
taking out shadows and show the contetns of the windows as you drag them or 
resize them. Turn off windows thumbnails in the taskbR. Use regular fonts and 
not tt. 
And also try running Pharo, directly to the framebuffer instead of x server.
Tell me kf tou find something more.

Do you have a preview version of the updated book?

Also would you consider adding some exercises will be a good addition? I think 
solet me know and i guess i can merge the project i've started to the

I will be adding an "Introduction to Object Orientation" chapter to the new

target people not familiar with Object Orientation and people new to coding. Its not an 
immediate target but it will happen till the end of the year.

Ohhh yes. There is always a time for every Smalltalkers where you discover that 
doing super for class side initialize is not a good idea.
Here was my time: 
http://forum.world.st/super-initialize-is-not-a-good-idea-for-Behaviors-td3086162.html
 
None of these is mentioned in documentation (I assume Pahro By Example is
the official one). It only says that #initialize is sent when class is
loaded into memory.

I think either this behavior should be made more consistent, or excplicitly
mentioned in the docs.

you can read the book here

https://www.gitbook.io/book/kilon/pbe

main repo is here

https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample

Sure exercises are always a good idea. We use pillar syntax which is quite 
simple, drop off to irc chat #Pharo at freenode to discuss the detail though 
most things are already well documented about the process of contributing to 
the book. 

I have ported so far 4 chapter and I am in chapter 5 , Damien has port one 
chapter and Stephan partly ported another so we around 50% of the book.
