Going to Deep into Smalltalk school

Hi! It's been a long time since last post. Next week we are assisting with Guido Chari to Deep into Smalltalk school, a course about advanced Smalltalk topics in Lille, France. I wanted to give a big thank to all the people that were involved in the organization of this journey, and to the sponsors, FAST, ESUG, ECS, which made all of this possible by affording our plane tickets from Buenos Aires.

Salut from Paris,

Javier.

Compiling and Bundling SqueakNOS

A month ago, we met with richie and guille to work in SqueakNOS and we advanced a lot in compiling the VM. Here I'll try to document the process and results.

 

Exploring Squeak's Virtual Machine Model

In this article I explore Squeak's Virtual Machine model, including a description of the aproach it takes to implement it's interpreter. As we'll be working with C, I'll assume you know how to compile the vanilla VM. If not, you can read my previous article to learn that here.

Getting started with SqueakNOS

The idea of this article is to explain what are the different bundles that are available to deliver SqueakNOS.

A small guide to Squeak Object Engine Organization

This document covers how Squeak/SqueakPharo works in the lower level, that is, the Virtual Machine. If you are looking for documentation about how to program in Squeak environment, you should go to www.squeak.org. I wrote this guide because I couldn't find a lot of docs explaining this but just a bunch of separate seemingly abandoned, old and not-enough-detailed articles gathered along squeak's wiki. One of the best I found is this about VMMaker.

A site for pure OO developing

I made this site to share my experiencies while developing with pure OO languages, specially smalltalk and particularly with Squeak/Pharo. I hope you'll find some useful information here.
