I've been fascinated by--and trying to follow--the discussions on connectors over the past month and have just one question:
What are they?
I mean, can anyone give me a "high concept" definition that explains what they're designed to do? What problems they're meant to solve? I have them on my system, but I can't figure out how/where to use them.
As with any Squeak-related question of this sort ("What is xxx?") be sure to check the Swiki to see if there's a page devoted to it. (There usually is.)
Go to http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak and Search for "Connectors", and you'll find:
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1773
Actually, it would be really nice if the Swiki let you do a search for page titles only, that would be a lot faster for this case. I often want to do this. Consider this a ComSwiki request! (Although I don't know if ComSwiki is still being worked on, and maybe SmallWiki already does this.)
