Hi,
Sorry, thats not what I meant :) which was that even though its well
written, it threads together a few tools I haven't used a lot, so its
hard to retain. Its has sparked my interest, but for it to soak in I
need some hands-on practice.

Of course. The goal of this exercise is not to brag, Hi,
One thing we noticed over the past year since we introduced GT in Pharo is that people
still tend to use these tools in a similar way classic tools were used. We think there is
a more potential in these tools.
When all your life you've only ever had a hammer and carry it on you
tool belt, someone gives you a shine new toolbox full of every tool
you are not familiar with, when you see a screw you forget to even
look in the toolbox and by habit reach for the hammer.
To change this, we would like to collect stories
of how using these tools enabled a workflow that was otherwise not possible. To get this
started, we will start to document more consistently some of the sessions, and we would
like to get input from your as well. The idea is to create a catalog of tutorials that
people can follow and get inspired from.
Let me start. I recently had to debug a small problem, and I ended up having an
experience that I found beautiful:

What do you think?
Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I think you have the advantage of
intimate knowledge of the tools. (I hadn't known of
"ContextStackSignal log”.) but to offer starting points for others.
I look forward to it.

But even my knowing a bit of
Mondrian/Roassal, it was a lot to take in. For outsiders it might be
a bit dry with the code samples foreign to them. But I think it would
make a compelling video for outsiders.
It is great to see it used in real life context, but for me to better
adopt and utilise such tools, I really need hands on practice, and in
another month that might not be a example to work through. Maybe it
also needs some simple contrived tutorial, where you create .
Indeed. That is why we are thinking that these examples should be accompanied by images
in which people will be able to practice. I already preserved the current image. I will
get back on this.
