July 6

I read more of the smalltalk book that I have been reading the past few days yesterday. Other than that nothing else programming related.

July 5

Yesterday I read the same book I read the day before and the day before that. I did not do anything else programming related yesterday.

July 4

Yesterday all I did was read the smalltalk book I downloaded the other day. At least I am reading about a programming language even if I am not doing any actual programming.

July 3

Yesterday I just looked around at some of the classes in the pharo image, thinking how will I ever make my own programs. I also download Smallltalk 80: The Language and its Implementation by Adele Goldbergh and David Robinson from Stef's free online smalltalk books. I hope to download and read all the books on the website.

July 2

Yesterday I read a little about Gui's in the pharo collaborative book. Leaning how to make a gui with pharo is fun though I think it might take me a lot of practice. I will practice practice practice.

I think the only other programming language that I have learned to make a gui with is Java and that was a long time ago. That I don't remember how to make a Gui with java anymore.

I think its called the collaborative pharo book that I look at a little yesterday. I had activated Halo in my pharo image but, could not get the Halo to come up when my mouse pointer was over a menu. I could not get Halo's to come up over a running program so my image was littered with a lot of programs. Then while looking at the table of contents of the book I saw a page on halo's so I clicked on the like and saw that I needed to use Shift-Alt-click to bring up a halo so I tried it in my smalltalk image and it worked so I could close down all the running programs in my image. Now my image is clean which makes me feel better.

Yesterday I also read a little more of how to design programs. I had not read that book for a long while and I want to start reading it again so I can finish it and know better how to design my own programs.

June 30

Yesterday I finished reading pharo by example. I did not try all the examples in the last shapers but, I just wanted to finish reading the book so I could start reading another book about smalltalk. I can always go back and type in the examples later.
