Context 3 beta 1 released

Posted in Appsterdam, consulting, Context, Naiad, Smalltalk, Spoon with tags , , , , , , on 12 September 2012 by Craig Latta

I’ve released Context 3 beta 1. This is another “ignition check” release. On the Mac, the intended sequence of events is:

  • You double-click on the app.
  • The app is an AppleScript which starts an embedded Context virtual machine, which resumes a web server. The AppleScript also opens a web browser on the web server’s welcome page.
  • The welcome page tells you what to do next (but it currently refers to things which don’t exist).

I’m working on the equivalent magic for Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux for the next release; suggestions welcome.

Please let me know if the startup sequence works for you, and any questions or comments you have. This is an exciting release, because it’s the first one that could be the basis for a self-supporting community.

Thanks!

Craig

Camp Smalltalk at ESUG 2012 in Gent, Belgium

Posted in Appsterdam, consulting, Smalltalk, Spoon on 25 August 2012 by Craig Latta

Huge thanks to yesplan.be for hosting Camp Smalltalk at ESUG 2012 in Gent, Belgium! I walked in and connected my computer to a humongous display and wireless keyboard/mouse, and connected myself to a humongous pile of speculoos, koffie, and Belgian chocolate. :)  All while a charming street festival went on outside. This is the perfect recipe for classic code!
