Learning Squeak is easier now
Posted in Programming, Squeak, Technology and Software, Tutorial on September 14, 2007 | 2 Comments »
If you’re a software developer and you’ve wanted to learn Squeak, it’s been a struggle for a while now.
In 2001 and 2002 Mark Guzdial wrote two books on it: Squeak: Object-Oriented Design with Multimedia Applications, and Squeak: Open Personal Computing and Multimedia (co-authored with Kim Rose). These are two books I found that have a [...]
Lisp: Surprise! You’re soaking in it
Posted in Programming, Tutorial on May 10, 2007 | 20 Comments »
This is the best introductory, conceptual article on Lisp I’ve ever seen. It’s written by Slava Akhmechet.
Lispers have long felt that it’s very difficult to get lay programmers to understand Lisp, because there’s no common context to help people relate to its unique syntax and powerful features. Slava went against the grain and managed to pull it [...]
Ruby demo in Seaside: the sequel
Posted in Information Technology, Squeak, Technology and Software, Tutorial on December 31, 2006 | 2 Comments »
Ramon Leon at On Smalltalk has written a couple of posts on how to connect a Seaside application to a database.
First he talks about selecting a database. He chooses PostgreSQL, and talks about his experience in setting it up. He chooses Glorp for object-relational mapping (ORM). Next, he shows how to take his Build-a-blog-in-15-minutes example and instead of using [...]
The Ruby on Rails demo in Seaside
Posted in Programming, Squeak, Technology and Software, Tutorial on December 10, 2006 | 1 Comment »
The classic Ruby on Rails demo that usually gets presented is how to build a blog in 15 minutes. This is what you usually get with the RoR screencasts. Ramon Leon at On Smalltalk did a similar demo in his own screencast, “How to build a blog in 15 minutes”, using Smalltalk (Squeak) and Seaside, of course. A [...]
A commercial host site for Seaside (Smalltalk) web apps.
Posted in Information Technology, Programming, Squeak, Tutorial on December 6, 2006 | 2 Comments »
I was hoping something like this would come along. I saw a response from Victor to my blog post “Exploring Squeak and Seaside” saying there is a commercial host site for Smalltalk/Seaside available in Toronto, Canada. I got in contact with Chris Cunnington, the man setting this up. He didn’t have it all set up then, but he [...]
Exploring Squeak and Seaside
Posted in Programming, Squeak, Technology and Software, Tutorial on October 10, 2006 | 9 Comments »
This is a joyous ride, and I’m still on it! I’ve been rediscovering my “roots”, and moving forward. It’s ironic that technologies that are now decades old hold keys to the future. As I’ve written about previously, I rediscovered Lisp earlier this year. I’ve put that on the shelf for a while, but I intend [...]
How to secure Windows XP against malware
Posted in Information Technology, Tutorial on September 22, 2006 | No Comments »
I’ve run into this issue many times. I read messages from technicians who often complain about how they clean up their customers’ infected Windows XP computers, and before they know it they’re infected again. I’ve been able to run Windows XP for years without catching a single worm or virus. I’ve done it by following some techniques [...]
