Most development tools include the ability to tell whether a method name/function name you are typing is part of the system or not. Today we look at adding that kind of simple "spellchecking" to the development tools.

JQTouchis a jQuery plugin for mobile web development, optimized for the iPhone and iPod touch. Among the other alternatives, this one has a nice design and uses the popular jQuery framework. In this post, I am reporting about my efforts to use this library from Seasidewhich is a component-based Web application framework for Smalltalk. It has great support for jQuery in the sense that the developer is presented with an elegant abstraction layer to do all the fancy selection and Ajax stuff.
The code is in the public store repository, so you can try it out yourself - follow the link to see a screen capture of an app running (via the browser, obviously) on the iPhone.

Michael just explained how to create new return semantics from a BlockClosure in Smalltalk - or, to use his explanation:
Of course, the usual pat on Smalltalk's back is required here - we've just done some very simple stack manipulation, extended a kernel class and all without breaking a sweat to give ourselves a completely new control structure.

One thing I thought I should point out about the upcoming Baltimore/DC event: it's being held near the BWI airport, within a short cab ride of the airport or rail station. So if you have been thinking of coming, but were worried about traffic down near DC, don't - the roads near BWI are almost never jammed, and it's an easy trip by rail from as far away as NY and Richmond. It's even a short trip by air (and inexpensive) from Boston. So come on down - you can register (and get the specific location details) here.
