Small status update on my Smalltalk & Newspeak...
I don’t have time right now to keep working on my Smalltalk & Newspeak projects because one of my commercial software projects has reached beta status and I’m trying to get it ready for release in January (bills sadly don’t pay themselves).
I will however work full time on my Newspeak and Smalltalk projects over the holidays, between Christmas and New Year’s which...

SLBfb in action at Pharocasts
I’ve worked over the weekend to get a pre-release version of Smalltalk Labs Browser for blogs (I should really have chosen a shorter name for this one although really long product names are kind of funny) ready, exclusively for the newest episode of Pharocasts.
Head on over there now with a WebKit or Mozilla powered browser if you’d like to play around with it:...

Smalltalk Labs Browser for blogs preview video
This video shows how Smalltalk Labs Browser for blogs opens up when you click on a Smalltalk class in a blog post.
The animations use jQuery so you won’t see them if you don’t add jQuery to your blog, everything will be displayed instantly then.
The class loading is simulated, I haven’t written the backend on Google App Engine for that yet. Syntax highlighting isn’t...

Smalltalk Labs Browser for blogs
I thought it would be cool if a reader could click on any Smalltalk class I mention in a blog post and then a mini version of my Smalltalk Labs browser would pop up as a floating div and display this class for him so that he can browse the docs or the methods and hopefully understand my blog post better, without the need to have a Smalltalk image at hand. Could be pretty handy for tutorials too....

Render static HTML with Seaside →
Found this on the Seaside mailing list. If you want to generate html code but don’t want to use it to drive a Seaside website, to save it as a file for example, you can easily do this and still use all the cool html brushes Seaside provides to write the html in Smalltalk.
Print or inspect the code in a Workspace and you’ll get a ByteString with the html...

Search as you type with Seaside & jQuery example...
Before I implemented search as you type filtering in Smalltalk Labs Browser, I wrote a little test app to try it out. I had done something like this before but that was a year ago so I wasn’t sure if I still knew how to do it :)
The code for this test app is very short so I thought I’d share it so that you can easily see how to integrate search as you type into your own Seaside apps,...

Smalltalk Labs Browser first version released! →
I spent the last week fixing all the bugs I could find in SL-Browser, my web based code browser for the Seaside web framework, and now it’s finally here, the first release is available for download for Pharo and Squeak.. NOW! ^^ I call it version 1.0 beta since I was the only tester, there might still be bugs I just never encountered myself.
As this is my first real Smalltalk project it...
Oh no, a new blog! But it's about Smalltalk (and...
The reason
I never had good experiences with blogs. I never update them, I’m way too lazy for that. But I also want to document my experience with learning and using the Smalltalk and Newspeak programming languages, so I will try again. I will fail, there’s no question about that, but that’s half the fun, isn’t it?
The path
“I tried out Squeak before, many...
