Re: [Pharo-users] What oo/modelling books/articles do we recommend these days?

Has anyone else got any thoughts? I checked out the Larman book - but it seems very process heavy (probably excellent for a full blown course), while I’m looking for something a bit lighter weight to guide students on the right way of thinking/approaching the little problems in Exercism. Wasn’t

Looking a bit further - Chapter 3 of: http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/STandOO/Smalltalk-and-OO.pdf (Smalltalk and Object Orientation - Hunt) gets me a bit closer, but still thinking I’ve seen better somewhere. Tim

Re: [Pharo-users] What oo/modelling books/articles do we recommend these days?

Thanks, I looked at that one - the title is right, but it’s more a tutorial where you type in code and follow along (and nothing wrong with that) - but I’m looking for something that teaches/helps you translate a problem domain into the sea of objects we are all accustomed to. And also gets to t

Re: [Pharo-users] ZnURL and parsing URL with diacritics

Sean I have realized that the method I proposed can be expressed entirely within the Zinc system, which may make it a bit neater and easier to follow. There probably is no completely general solution, but there is a completely general way of finding a solution for your problem domain. It is im

Re: [Pharo-users] What oo/modelling books/articles do we recommend these days?

Thanks, I recall the Wires-Brock books been pretty good, its a shame you can’t preview any of them (and mine are in a box in my attic somewhere). Unfortunately I can’t imagine that students first staring out will want to invest - but maybe I can find something that might fill the gap leading to

Re: [Pharo-users] ZnURL and parsing URL with diacritics

I would use a variant of your original transformation. The issue (the error in the URL) is that all kinds of non-ASCII characters occur unencoded. We should/could assume that other special/reserved ASCII characters _are_ properly encoded (so we do not need to handle them). So I would literally

Re: [Pharo-users] ZnURL and parsing URL with diacritics

Sven That would certainly work, and represents the most liberal possible approach. An equivalent, keeping entirely within Zinc, would be to use a special-purpose instance of ZnPercentEncoder, in which the safe set is defined as all characters between code points 33 and 126 inclusive. (Starting

Peter, It *is* a bogus URL, please go and read some RFCs. A browser's address/search box is an entirely different thing that adds convenience features, such as the issue we are discussing here. Sven > On 26 Mar 2019, at 16:02, PBKResearch wrote: > > Sven > > That would certainly work, and r

Re: [Pharo-users] ZnURL and parsing URL with diacritics

Sven Well RFCs are unreadable - I know, because I looked at 3986 while looking at this question - but OK, I get your point. I suppose I should be looking for something that makes it easier to provide similar convenience features in Pharo. As you say, if this issue is cracked, that is a step on

Re: [Pharo-users] What oo/modelling books/articles do we recommend these days?

Actually - I’ve been making good progress on Exercism (with help from Ben and Sam) - we can almost come out of alpha (but just need more exercises converted - not sure exactly what the limit is, but 22 isn’t quite enough). I’m just tuning the tooling - and putting some bits in place so that its
