The Weekly Squeak

Squeakfest 2013 in Uruguay

squeakfest2013

It’s that time again.  Time to pack up the kids and join us at SqueakFest 2013.  Don’t forget to bring your XO computer!

If you can’t make it please consider a donation to help cover travel costs: Donate

For more information see: Squeakfest 2013

From Rita:

There will be a Squeakfest again in Uruguay at June, 7th – 9th, this time in Atlantida. Etoys will cover the major part of the event, but there will also be workshops in Python, turtle art and robotics. After all, Uruguay is the country with XO-laptops in every elementary school and teachers are using the software which comes with Sugar.

http://squeakfest2013.weebly.com/

From our education team, Randall Caton and myself are going to present Etoys workshops. This year, I’ll introduce Kedama. I’m looking forward to an inspiring event!

If you want to help or know someone who would like to, I created a crowdfunding page to collect money to help to cover our travel cost. Please share as you like!

Greetings,

Rita

Malinglist Move

The Pharo users and development lists have been moved to a new (and hopefully more stable) server.

pharo-dev: this is the development list discussing the development of Pharo itself.

pharo-users: This is for everyone who uses Pharo to develop Software and for those who want to learn Pharo.

The most comprehensive archive can be found on Nabble (users, dev).

Pharo3: The Power of the AST

Pharo3 development is rapidly progressing. One of the plans for Pharo3 is to use a high level code model based on the the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) of the Refactoring Engine.

We will use it in many contexts, here are two examples.

Navigation. When selecting code or navigating expressions, the editor can do better then just using word boundaries:

Suggestions. When we want to do an actions on a selection, why not just show those that make sense? Why do I need to carefully highlight a  selector to browser implementors? The AST model can do much better!

This work is done by Gisela Decuzzi and available in the last Pharo3 builds. More to come! e.g. better shortcuts, AST based syntax highlighting, and much more.

Kinematic Templates in Smalltalk

The Kinematic Templates interaction technique suggests adjusting the user's mouse input to it tends to match a drawing template. That allows the user to draw in free-hand mode and obtain a "beautified" version of it's hand drawing.

There is an implementation for Pharo. Read more or watch the video or read the paper.

BabyMock 1.0

BabyMock is a visual mock object library for Pharo Smalltalk, that supports test-driven development. Like other mock object libraries, BabyMock helps you design and test the interactions between the objects in your programs.

BabyMock makes these interactions visible, which may help you identify test smells easier.
