The Citizen Toolmaker
At Camp Smalltalk 2019 in Charlotte, North Carolina, we saw many great presentations. Cincom’s own Carl Gundel from the Cincom Smalltalk™ engineering team gave an engaging and instructive presentation. Carl explained how to use new features of Cincom® VisualWorks ® 8.3.2 to create a custom coloring text editor by using the flexible new DocumentEditor and also demonstrated window layout using constraints as an alternative to positioning in the UI Painter. PetitParser was also leveraged in the examples.
In addition, he also gave a snappy demonstration of the complete VisualWorks Smalltalk system running on the popular Raspberry Pi computer.
