Smalltalk with James Robertson

Arden Thomas, Cincom's Smalltalk product manager, has asked for feedback on a new text editor that's being built for VW:

We are in the process of revamping and modernizing our text editor, which is used in a number of places in the product. What are your wishes/needs/requirements in a text editor? Any api level access you have dreamed about to accomplish some tasks? Any current restrictions that are an obstacle?

If you subscribe to the VW-Dev or VWNC mailing lists, drop them a line there.

Now Stefan crosscompiled GNU Smalltalk to Android. A binding to Android APIs is still missing - but it basically runs. The source is on GitHub if you want to help.

PharoConf was held at Inria Lille the 24 and 25 of May 2012. Two days of Pharo, lots of talks, discussions and short presentations of companies using Pharo.

You can browse the slides (and see some photos snapped at the conference) here.

Guille Polito has a nice roundup of the pros and cons of using - or not using - an image based system like Smalltalk.

http://smalltalkhub.com is not only a new website for Smalltalk. If you look at the bottom of the page you will notice that is based on Pharo, Seaside, MongoDB and also the client side Amber Smalltalk that helps running the nice looking pages.

There's a new blog up, on the subject of type inference for Pharo

This looks interesting - probably worth a screencast at some point:

This website offers a web service to easily share Smalltalk workspaces. It is a pastebin for Smalltalk. Using a subclass of the standard Workspace tool called ZnWorkspace, you can easily publish the contents of any workspace to this website.

It's built for Pharo (1.4 to be specific)
