MorphicWrappers
by gr＠fuzzy.uba.ar 23 Jul '98

23 Jul '98

Hi everybody (en espanol mas adelante)! There is something new in SugarWeb (http://www.sugarweb.com) that deserves to be seen (as said by it's authors... (-: ) We proudly introduce you the MorphicWrappers... finally... here you have an abstract from MorphicWrapper class Comment: As you may want to see any object inside a WorldMorph, but it's not a good idea to make everything subclass of Morph, MorphicWrappers are here. A MorphicWrapper knows how to represent any non morphic object in a WorldMorph. [...] and here you have an abstract from WrapperWorldMorph class Comment: a WrapperWorldMorph is a place where any object fills Morphic, is a place where there are no differences of hierarchy or look&feel, is a place where every object is treated as a Morph, it's our dream, and it's true! :-) [...] It also introduces some very simple techniques to graphically interact with an Object. We'll be happy, if you see it. We have been using it for more than half year now, and we think that they are ready to know other images, and to grow in knowledge and then come back home to tell it's friends what they've learned and then travel again, and again, and again... But they need your help... please send comments to Luciano Notarfrancesco (mailto:lnotarfr@dc.uba.ar) and Gerardo Richarte (mailto:richie@core-sdi.com) we hope you enjoy this as much as we do. --------------------------------------------------------------- Hola todos! Hay algo nuevo en SugarWeb (http://www.sugarweb.com)que (segun sus autores) merece ser visto. Orugllosamente les presentamos los MorphicWrappers... por fin!... Aca va una traduccion del comienzo de MorphicWrapper class Comment: Como a todos nos gustaria ver a cualquier objeto dentro de un WorldMorph, pero no es una buena idea hacer todo subclass de Morph, los MorphicWrappers esta aca. Un MorphicWrapper sabe como representar a cualquier objeto no Morphic en un WorldMorph. [...] Y aca va una traduccion del principio de WrapperWorldMorph class Comment: un WrapperWorldMorph es un lugar donde cualquier objeto se siente Morphic, es un lugar donde no hay diferencias de hierarchy o the look&feel, es un lugar donde todos los objetos son tratados como un Morph, es nuestro sueno, y es verdad! :-) [...] Tambien introduce algunas tecnicas bastante simples para poder interactuar graficamente con un objeto. No va a poner muy contento si lo ves. Hace ya mas de medio ano que lo venimos usando, y creemos que estan listos para que conoscan otras imagenes, y que aprendan mucho y que despues, vuelvan a su casa a contarles a sus amigos lo que aprendieron para despues volver a viajar, otra vez, y otra, y otra, y otra... Pero necesitan tu ayuda... por favor, manda comentarios a: Luciano Notarfrancesco (mailto:lnotarfr@dc.uba.ar) y Gerardo Richarte (mailto:richie@core-sdi.com) Esperamos que lo disfrutes tanto como nosotros.

Re: Squeak Exception Handling?
by Dwight Hughes 22 Jul '98

22 Jul '98

There were a number of emails on exception handling to the Squeak list from about 8/4/97 to 8/7/97 or so that should be of interest also. You can see them at the CREATE site: http://www.create.ucsb.edu/squeak/ There were two threads: "VisualSmalltalk-like Exceptions and insured execution" and "Implementing unwind-protect without virtual machine modification" -- Dwight

(Dave: yes, it's very useful ;) Is there a more recent version?) I don't know much about the ANSI version, but I find it hard to imagine that it *wouldn't* have been somewhat influenced by the ParcPlace varient ;) Should be in the archive. If not, drop me a (private) note and I'll send a copy. Cheers, Bijan Parsia.

Squeak tutorial (in Spanish)
by Leandro Caniglia 18 Jul '98

18 Jul '98

Squeakers. I've been working on a "getting started" Squeak and Morphic tutorial (in Spanish). You can find it at http://sugarWeb.com/Learning/Morphic/index.htm. SUGAR is the Smalltalk User Group of ARgentina, where more than 120 subscribers from Argentina, Spain, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, etc. share their experiences using Smalltalk. Please, fell free to visit http://sugarWeb.com. ---- Squeakers. Acabo de terminar una "Introduccion a Squeak y a Morphic". Se trata de un tutorial escrito en Castellano que pueden usar como guia paso a paso para comenzar a trabajar en Squeak y en Morphic. Invitamos a todos los smalltalkers de habla hispana del mundo a visitar sugarWeb en donde podran encontrar mas material didactico y un importante repositorio de 'Miniaturas' Smalltalk. Tambien los invitamos a subscribirse a nuestra lista enviando un mail a majordomo(a)ccc.uba.ar con el texto 'SUBSCRIBE SUGAR' en el cuerpo del mensaje (NO en el subject). Tanto los expertos y como los principiantes son bienvenidos a Sugar. Saludos, Leandro
