Re: [Pharo-users] Essential Documentation

[julius]

Thanks for you answers!

I'm aware of the books on the pharo.org/documentation page. But for me that
is not
sufficient. I'm currently playing around while programming my fist own and
unguided
application. It will be quite simple, just a reminder application where
notes can be
added, removed, edited and all of them should trigger a notification when
they are
due. I plan to save all notes in a SQLite database, display is done with
spec.

While this is basic stuff I often have to go into the source and search for
the
correct messages to send and to see what kind of return objects I get. For
example
I wanted to use a SortedCollection as data structure for my notes
(consisting of a
string and a date) that should be ordered by date, so since this is not
really described
in the Pharo by Example book I looked at the implementation and searched
online.

It would be definitely better to just have only or in the image a full
documentation
for SortedCollection which links to a full documentation of
OrderedCollection.

I have to confess I didn't read Pharo in depth and Pharo for Enterpise yet
but I also
don't think its convenient to have all the books open and search there for
documentation.

Since I think a full searchable documentation would be very helpful
especially for
beginners and I definitely would like to have one I would be happy to
contribute.
Are there already some efforts toward it or does somebody has an idea how to
accomplish
that? Right now I imagine the best thing would be to have an automated
workflow to read out
the comments of the current release somehow and presenting them online.
Maybe it would
need to write a parser to get them well formatted (so that example code
looks like code and so
on). So if there is any way that I can contribute, I will do.

Best,
Julius

Hi Julius,

Have a look at http://books.pharo.org

These should certainly get you started.

Yes I agree with the fact to have all classes/methods documented.
Can you contribute in that direction ?

Re: [Pharo-users] Essential Documentation

[Clément Bera]

General documentation on all the base frameworks is present in the *Pharo
by example* book. You can download it for free here:
http://pharobyexample.org/versions/PBE1-2009-10-28.pdf
Or here for the updated version:
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Books/job/UpdatedPharoByExample/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/book-result/UpdatedPharoByExample.pdf

For frameworks like voyage, the documentation is available in another book
which can also be downloaded for free:
http://files.pharo.org/books/enterprise-pharo/
Chapter 11 is about Voyage

[Pharo-users] Essential Documentation

[julius]

Probably this is a very beginners question but is there a documentation
online
or within the Pharo image for all the base-framework components like all
collections, Morphic, Numbers and so on?

I know Pharo uses a lot the 'see and discover yourself' approach but
sometimes,
especially for beginners it would be nice to have a documentation for most
classes
and also have programming guides. Coming from macOS and iOS development I
think about something like Swift or Objective-C has. For example you have
every
class there documented but also you have programming guides for how to draw
graphics. It would be really helpful to have somthing like that for example
for
Voyage (maybe it's there but I did not found it).

Thanks for helping me out!
Julius

[Pharo-users] [ANN] Basic GitHub-API for Pharo

[Torsten Bergmann]

Hi,

to get warm with Git, GitFileTree and Iceberg last week I was in need of 
something
quick I could implement to try these new tools out.

While being on my GitHub webpage I've seen at the bottom a link to "API"
and was happily surprised that GitHub could be accessed also with a REST API.

So I wrapped a few of these calls within Pharo and now you can also query 
GitHub infos easily from inside of the image:

   (GitHub userNamed: 'astares') avatar inspect"Returns the avatar form"

   (GitHub userNamed: 'pharo-project') isOrganization

   (GitHubUser named: 'pharo-project') repositories

Code could be improved and extended further, possible also be used for
accessing/controlling GitHub from Iceberg later.

If you want to play with it just load it from Catalog in Pharo 6.0.

Code and docu is available on https://github.com/astares/GitHub-API

Have fun
T.

Something like this?

[Pharo-users] Strange behavior with software update

[Norbert Hartl]

My project I load via filetree so for every package I have a filetree repo 
assigned. I have a code snippet that changes all the filetree repos to 
gitfiletree ones. But when I do System->Software update the repositories are 
back to the filetree ones. Anyone has an idea what could cause this?

thanks,

Norbert

You can configure a SelectEntity for it

You need a 64bit image for that one

The cog_macos32x86_pharo.cog.spur_201609201401.tar.gz   works for me, the
cog_macos64x64_pharo.cog.spur_201609201401.tar.gz does not.
