Dear Prof. Serge Stinckwich,
Hi Vinh,
My name is Nguyen Nhi Gia Vinh, I am working as computer science lecturer in College of Sciences in Can Tho university. I have a chance to know you from Prof. Christophe Lepage (CIRAD) and I am is one of person in your mailing list. Now I am working with Prof. Christophe Le page on the project: "Simulation the process of making decisions in Crops of farmers in BacLieu province in Viet Nam". In my group, we use CORMAS platform to catch the real word of farmers into the model in computer so that we can see how farmers can make their decisions in choosing the crops in future time.
As you know, the CORMAS platform use smalltalk programming language and this language is hard to study because of Object Oriented trend (OO). I like this language too much because when I use CORMAS, I can simulate the real word and get the results to forecast, now I learned smalltalk by myself but I can not understand deeply the world in smalltalk and this reason made me so difficult to program fluently.
If you have some difficulties with Smalltalk, you can read the book : "Squeak by example" in english here : http://www.squeakbyexample.org/ or in french here : http://www.squeakbyexample.org/fr/
I could also made a Smalltalk course in Can Tho University if there is some people interested.
I got master degree in computer science from AIT (Asian Institute of Technology) in ThaiLand, now I want to do my PHD in smalltalk in France. At the end of this year, I intend to apply scholarship from the MOET (Ministry of Education and Training) in Viet Nam. If you have any idea, please help me.
If you want to find a phd, register and send a message to the french Smalltalk mailing list here :
