[ann] gt documenter

by Tudor Girba

Hi, We are happy to announce a new leap of GToolkit Documenter, the tool for manipulating live documents directly in the development environment: https://github.com/feenkcom/gtoolkit-documenter Documenter is part of the second generation GToolkit project, it is based on Bloc and works with the latest Pillar. It is mainly developed by Juraj Kubelka. Attached you can see a preview of how documents look like: At its core it offers a live editor for manipulating Pillar documents. The interaction happens seamlessly directly in the text editor, and it can be combined with different types of previews to serve several classes of use cases: • code documentation • tutorials • interactive data notebook Code documentation ---- Documenter complements the GToolkit Examples engine to redefine code documentation. When practicing example-driven development, examples get written as part of the typical development. Once examples exist, they can be quickly put together in a document to form documentation. For example, the linked picture shows the comment of a class containing a visual explanation: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/973899862482866176 You can see a live example of documentation by inspecting the following snippet: GtDocumenter editorForText: BrToggleExamples comment. Tutorials: ---- Documenter offers a new experience of writing tutorials for Pharo by enabling the creation and embedding of Epicea change sessions directly in the document. For example, take a look at the following animation: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/999975333972541440 The document shows a method on top, and a change preview at the bottom showing both the code and the associated diff to the state from the image. Applying the change updates both the change view (no more diff), and method preview. This speeds up significantly the process of going through a tutorial. Furthermore, given that now the document shows the diff to the current image, the reader can safely explore alternative scenario and come back to the tutorial at any time without losing the overview. The size of the preview can also be adjusted live: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/1001152789874167808 https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/1001407762285375490 You can see a live tutorial by inspecting: IceRepository repositoriesLocation / 'feenkcom'/ 'gtoolkit-examples' / 'doc' / 'tutorial' / 'examples-tutorial.pillar’. Interactive data notebook: ---- A Documenter document can also be used as an interactive notebook. Internally it essentially acts as a playground: • it supports defining variables in code snippets, and • the execution of code shows an embedded inspector. For example: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/996310432225820672 https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/1002851190475026432 An example, can be seen by inspecting: IceRepository repositoriesLocation / 'feenkcom'/ 'gtoolkit' / 'doc' / 'gtoolkit' / 'gtoolkit.pillar'. As always, please do let us know what you think. Enjoy, The feenk team -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "If you can't say why something is relevant, it probably isn't."

Beginner questions re. Moose analysis of C++ source code

by smallglt

I'm totally new to Moose (and effectively new to Smalltalk) and need a pointer or two on analyzing an old application that was developed in Visual C++ 2006. I have the complete sources, including the Visual Studio project files, resource files, etc. I've already got Pharo and Moose installed on my Windows system and have been able to get the Moose playground to run, but that's about it. So far I don't know how to get Moose to do anything else. My initial goal is just to get this source code "loaded" into Moose. I've seen references to VerveineC-Cpp and Famix-C but no explanation of how to use either one. I haven't had an opportunity yet to try VerveineC-Cpp on Windows 10 at my office. On my personal Mac (i.e. not on the office system where I actually need to do this work) I installed Eclipse Oxygen and tried to follow the very limited directions to install VerveineC-Cpp, but Eclipse complains about the build path. Maybe Eclipse Mars is needed instead of Jupiter? It also looks like I might need to use the old, deprecated Java V1.7 for MacOS, instead of a current version of Java? (Hopefully I won't need an older version of MacOS. I'm running Sierra V10.12 with all updates as of this writing.) Maybe that would all be more straightforward somehow on Windows? (I also have Linux at work, if that would be any easier.) As for Famix-C, I see that it appears to be "built in" to the Moose environment that I installed at work and at home. But I don't know how to make it do anything. I greatly appreciate any hints or suggestions. I'm very eager to begin using Moose and to (re)learn Smalltalk, especially in the Pharo environment which looks really fascinating. (Trivia: Back in the early 1990's or thereabouts, while taking a graduate course in operating system design, I learned enough Smalltalk to get me started on writing an emulator for the simple machine specification the professor gave us. But a single academic quarter, roughly three months, just wasn't enough time to both learn a totally new, object oriented programming paradigm /and/ use it to complete such a program, while also holding down a full time job and leading a regular life. :-) But I did write a good paper explaining my ideas and how far I'd actually been able to carry them. The professor was understanding, liked my concept, and I managed to get a B+ grade for the course.) -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Moose-f1310756.html

feenk log

by Tudor Girba

Hi, We were a bit silent the last couple of months. Quite a bit happened in the meantime, so here is a summary (for more fine grained announcements, you can follow us on Twitter): ---- Bloc ---- - Scrolling. We finally have a good scrolling support: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/991690465224331264 This might sound like a trivial feature, but it turns out it is not. We had a bug that forced us to rethink the support quite deeply in order to be able to debug it. To do this, we now can simulate time in Bloc, which is really cool: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/989797367523233797 https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/988753142299938817 (as a side note, the bug we fought with was the last - Pannable element is a combination of a scrollable element with a scalable element, and it offers the possibility either to zoom in/out + scroll, or to fit screen and resize when the parent resizes. - PDF, SVG, PNG, JPG export (based on the underlying Moz2D support): https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/976580153802358786 https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/976578060429484032 - Better curve support: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/990967109193781249 https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/990971530615107584 - Better debugging support for understanding bounds: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/989138457288167424 ---- Brick ---- - We now have simple list and columned list widgets. The list is both fast and scalable and supports rows of variable heights: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/984744251920658432 https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/984143821192744961 - Basic tab widget: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/974420432240685062 - Looks: a mechanism for specifying element-specific composition and interaction. ---- GT ---- - Documenter saw some major improvements. Just a reminder, Documenter is the tool that enables live programming and previews directly within Pillar documents. We now have a capability similar to notebooks like Jupyter: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/996310432225820672 We use it extensively to document our code. For example, here is a tutorial about playing with looks in Bloc: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/973899862482866176 And we can also express whole tutorials based on Epicea: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/999975333972541440 - Diagrammer. We now have better editing support for detailed things such as arrow head: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/976341449267531776 While Diagrammer is apparently a tool for diagrams, it has a rather generic design that can be utilized for all sorts of use cases. For example, one side effect is that now all elements can be visually edited: https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/982656456968241152 - Mondrian: Using the new pannable element, we can now zoom in/out and scroll, and we can also set element to fit screen. We can also drag elements around. - Inspector: we now have an initial support for multiple views associated with an object. The support is similar to the one from the current inspector. Have fun, The feenk team -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "What is more important: To be happy, or to make happy?"
