Hi Trygve,
I liked it very much, thank you!
If you're looking for reader feedback, I hope these help:
I found it beautifully clear until page 6, where I started getting a
little confused. Actually, it started at the top of page 5. I wasn't too
familiar with what exactly an activity network is and for the rest of
the article I was distracted a little figuring out what frontLoadFrom:
and earlyStart might mean. I thought your footnote 1 might be where I'd
find out.
At figure 3 you mention four instance variables but there seem to be five.
In figure 8b second fragment lines 1 and 2, should front be frontAct ?
In that same fragment I expected noneSatisfy to be allSatisfy, but I may
still be confused.
In "Figure 8 on page 7 shows that the member objects playing the various
roles need to understand the following messages: resetEarlyStart and
frontload: firstWeek." should it also mention earlyStart ?
I look forward to hearing more. Even prior to having working tools in
squeak, I have the feeling I'll be better able to refactor and document
even my legacy non-smalltalk apps after reading this.
Best regards,
-Simon
