Re: [Newbies] code formatter

A +1 from me regarding the dev images. Having used the SBE image, I thought I'd go to a vanilla Squeak image when I started my development. No no no. I think it was a link that I folllowed from here or irc that led me to the dev images. Well worth using. On Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 1:32 AM, Rob

Re: [Newbies] Are setters a good idea?

The short answer is that you are exposing the internals of the object. If you have an object that is just a packet of values, great. If you have an object that will always have e.g. a colour, then possibly great, or possibly not depending on the domain. On Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 7:40 PM, Andy
