Teapot: a micro web framework for Pharo

Hello,

I'd like to announce a new micro web framework called Teapot. It follows a
similar philosophy than other lightweight frameworks like
Sinatra/Bottle/Flask/Spark. Teapot is built on top of the Zn HTTP
components, and less than 500 lines long.

More info:

SXSoundEx for Pharo

Hi all

As part of a recent project I was asked to create a small soundex thingy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex

I told the company that I’d do it but it’d be opensource and I’d give it to the community.
They agreed so here it is!
You can find it here http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~riverdusty/SXSoundEx
Hope it’ll be useful for someone.

Regards

Jasny bootstrap

Hi,

The Bootstrap wrapping project for Seaside now has also support for the Jasni Bootstrap 
extension (see http://jasny.github.io/bootstrap).

Seaside Examples can be found on the following URL's

http://pharo.pharocloud.com/bootstrap/browser/Jasny%20-%20Button%20Label
http://pharo.pharocloud.com/bootstrap/browser/Jasny%20-%20Input%20Mask
http://pharo.pharocloud.com/bootstrap/browser/Jasny%20-%20Navmenu

Hope this is useful.

Thanks

New Woden Video

Hello,

In a previous email I presented an early video of Woden, my new graphics engine written in Pharo. Here I have a new video in which I show some of the features of Woden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nze9tnwYxY&feature=youtu.be

 

With Alex, we started rewriting Roassal 3D using Woden, which can be seen in the second half of the video.

I will try to show many more demos in ESUG.

It also should be possible now to load Woden using the following script:

Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: ‘ronsaldo’ project: ‘Woden’; package: ‘ConfigurationOfWoden’; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfWoden) loadBleedingEdge

Later I will make a stable configuration version.

Greetings,
Ronie

Live Robot Programming

Hi all,

it’s with great joy that I can announce the project that my PhD student Miguel and I have been working on recently: Live Robot Programming, or LRP for short.

LRP is a live programming language designed for the creation of the behavior layer of robots. It is fundamentally a nested state machine language built with robotics applications in mind, but it is not bound to a specific robot middleware, API or OS. Have a look at one minute of LRP programming to get an idea of what it is like:http://youtu.be/4Ma8ZapBUqA

Live programming is fun, and live robot programming even more so, as it brings all the advantages of live programming to programming a robot. You get direct manipulation of a running robot, and that’s just cool beyond words. As an example of LRP on a robot, this guy was programmed in LRP: http://instagram.com/p/pEhm0Oj837/ Note that you can use LRP ‘just’ for live programming nested state machines as well.

More information on LRP is available on its website: http://pleiad.cl/LRP where you can also find download instructions. 

LRP is implemented in Pharo, and uses Roassal2 for the visualization of its state machines. We currently can steer the Lego Mindstorms EV3 and ROS robots, thanks to a small layer on top of the cool Pharo support that Jannik, Luc, Santiago and Noury are implementing at Douai. I am going to look into support for the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0esug in a few weeks. 

Miguel will be at ESUG next week (I cannot make it), and has a talk at the IWST workshop about LRP, in the morning session. I am sure that he will also be happy to give demos of LRP if you ask him to (but sadly without a robot).

All feedback is welcome, and … have fun!

HelloPharo: Smooth deployment of Pharo Web Apps

Hello,

At Ta Mère, we are used to deploy Ruby/Rails application with Heroku or on VPS with Capistrano. Almost everybody uses the same tools and techniques in the Rails community so deployment is quite easy once you grasp the process.

The same process was quite frustrating with Pharo. To solve that, we’ve built HelloPharo. It is a tool to deploy small apps to a Linux VPS/VM.

It is heavily inspired by Capistrano, it prones convention over configuration and it wants to be full stack (e.g., serve the assets, restart the processes). It is built with Ansible.

We haven’t released a fixed version yet but the tool starts to be in a good-enough shape to be shown. We want to grab some feedback and fix the most obvious limitations (see the README for more) before releasing version 0.1.0.

If you or your company uses a well defined process to deploy pharo webapps, we are all ears. We think that having a canonical way to deploy simple apps is a must if we want to see wider Pharo adoption for small web companies. This process *must* be Unix friendly if we want to attract Python or Ruby people. Most of them are Devops anyway, the command line is their friend, NOT something they want to avoid.

Pull requests (for code or instructions in the README) are more than welcome. The code and the documentation are MIT licensed.

https://github.com/fstephany/hello-pharo/

Cheers,

Francois

[ANN] TinyMCE for Seaside

Hi,

if you want to use the TinyMCE Editor in your web application
with Seaside then you should/could use this one:

Project + Documentation
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/TinyMCE

Simple Demo:
http://pharo.pharocloud.com/tinymce

Nothing special, just a simple file library and an
example on how to use it. But maybe it safes others some
time.

Bye
T.

Bootstrap 0.10.0 with Twitter Bootstrap v3.2.0 and Lighthouse sample app

Hi,

the Bootstrap project (http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/Bootstrap)
was updated to include the latest Twitter Bootstrap library v.3.2.0
from http://getbootstrap.com

Also you can now use:
 - an RTL/LTR version included for BIDI language applications 
   (see #bootstraprtlminCss and #bootstraprtlCss

 - #tbsContainerFluid beside #tbsContainer.

How to try out:
===============
 1. load "Bootstrap" from Configuration browser in Pharo 3.0
 2. evaluate   

       ZnZincServerAdaptor startOn: 8080

 3. point browser to http://localhost:8080/bootstrap

Side note:
As the config also loads newer seaside you may also notice the return
of the "Seaside Control Panel" in the Tools menu aftwards where you
can also control the server as described in the regular Seaside docu.

Enjoy!

Bye
T.
