CodeParadise: a better place for the next generation of coders - Wednesday, August 26th

By

 The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, August 26th.

In this meeting, Erik Stel will present his current project - CodeParadise.


CodeParadise is a cloud based platform (to be) to learn to program using Object Oriented principles within a Smalltalk environment.

CodeParadise is still in very early development, but some of its results have seen interest from the community. Therefore a presentation will provide insight in the design, current status, and possibilities of the results so far.

The discussion afterwards can be used for both in-depth technical topics as well as the more philosophical topics about programming (as warmth and/or beer consumption will guide us).


Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home.

If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page to receive the meeting details. Don’t forget to bring your laptop and drinks!


Update 13 September 2020: a recording of the presentation is now available on Vimeo.

A Tour of Architectural Abstraction with Objective-S - Wednesday, November 24th

By
This month, the UKSTUG will take a look at Objective-S , an architecture-oriented programming language based on Smalltalk and Objective-C, by hosting his creator Marcel Weiher. As per Alan Kay, “Code seems large and complicated for what it does” . Objective-S addresses one source of this accidental complexity: using software architectural abstraction to directly expresses the much wider variety of architectural styles typical of modern software systems, compared to traditional programming languages that still follow the call/return architectural style of scientific programs from the early days of computing. Marcel Weiher started his forays into dynamic object-oriented computing by implementing Objective-C on his Amiga 35 years ago and hasn’t stopped since. Stops on the way have been at Apple, the BBC, Microsoft and various startups, as well as contributing to Squeak. He is currently a principal software engineer at Citymapper and PhD student at HPI, where he is trying to distill some

Deploying to the cloud from Pharo - Wednesday, July 29th

By
The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, July 29th. Peter Svensson will present his work on Cloudsdk-st. Cloudsdk-st is an experiment in ways to work with cloud deployment from a Smalltalk image. Traditionally cloud deployments run 'out of band' in separate build scripts or build/CI/CD systems. This project lets you define Docker images (using Dockerfiles) for Smalltalk, send them to the build system of a cloud provider directly and then choose what kind of service you want your image to be (cloud function or long-running VM). Currently it only supports Google Cloud and has a very rough UI. Future plans include support for AWS and Azure as well as better feedback and a Spec2 UI. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page to receive the meeting details. Don’t forget to bring your laptop and drinks!
