smalltalk

What would be good (cross Smalltalk, mantained, documented) web frameworks or packages (in terms of fewer things to learn/adapt) to use for implementing a static web site with really few forms? .i.e. : a search box and a contact form. I have no "model" or application behind, so I'm not searching for CMS or web application capabilities. There is any example or simple script of a static web site developed in any web frameworks? please I'm NOT interested in counter or 'Hello World' examples. The examples I've seen from Seaside looks too complicated, too many nested blocks with the "programmatic

I am implementing futures in Pharo. I came across this website http://onsmalltalk.com/smalltalk-concurrency-playing-with-futures . I am following this example and trying to replicate it on Pharo. However, I get to this point the last step and I have no idea what ">>" means: This symbol is not also included as part of Smalltalk syntax in http://rigaux.org/language-study/syntax-across-languages-per-language/Smalltalk.html . BlockClosure>>future ^ SFuture new value: self fixTemps I can see future is not a variable or a method implemented by BlockClosure. What should I do with this part of the

The return value of #value: message, when sent to a block, is the value of the last sentence in that block. So [ 1 + 2. 3 + 4. ] value evaluates to 7. I find that hard to use sometimes. Is there a way to explicitly set the returning value and stop executing the block? For exercise, try rewriting this block without using my imaginary #return: message and see how ugly it gets. I must be missing something. [ :one :two | one isNil ifTrue: [ two isNil ifTrue: [ self return: nil ] ifFalse: [ self return: true ] ]. two ifNil: [ self return: false ]. (one > two) ifTrue: [ self return: true ] ifFalse:

I want to find the name of the message that triggered the MNU , how do I do that ? For example if I do Transcript explode . This will trigger a MNU because method explode does not exist but how do I find that the name of the message that triggered MNU is "explode" ? If I DoIt that, I get a debugger. The title there is MessageNotUnderstood: ThreadSafeTranscript>>explode When I select the first element, I get to see the doesNotUnderstand: aMessage, where aMessage is the message Try this: [Transcript explode] on: MessageNotUnderstood do: [:ex| ex message selector] The exception's message is an

I have an object with a variable containing a String. I have a window containing a LabelMorph/TextMorph (or some other Morph that displays Text?). How do i bind the LabelMorph/TextMorph to the variable, so that the label updates when the String in the variable changes? classic Smalltalk-80 dependent/change/update mechanism? Pharo Announcement framework? something different?? How would i do this? Which Morph should i use? Depends on what you want to achieve. You might want to take a look at a way to do it with Glamour in a current Moose image. In a workspace, do-it: GLMBasicExamples new
