Dear Squeakers,
welcome to the The WeeklySqueakSummary, a irregular traffic-dependent report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the WeeklySqueak blog.
Highlights of the past weeks:
Scratch [5] is a programming language for creating multimedia content developed at MIT Media Lab; the project was led by John Maloney.
SeaChart [2] allows for creating all kinds of charts using Seaside. Moreover, SeaChart also supports fading image slide shows and clickable star raters. The examples on the SeaChart web page are impressive, and even more so given that the code used to generate them (all to be seen on the page) is so concise.
ActiveRecord [3] supports almost automatic persistence. Ramon Leon's implementation for Squeak creates Glorp descriptions from Magritte meta-data.
