We are an informal group of Smalltalk enthusiasts.
Meetings are on Mondays, every other month at Ryerson room ENG288. There is no cost to join.
Please sign up at Yahoo Groups to receive meeting notifications and to participate in our online Toronto Smalltalk community.
At each meeting we have several code examples and questions, which lead to spirited discussions about the state of Smalltalk, and computer of computer programming in general. Most of us then go out for a nice dinner and more conversation.
If you have a topic or question for the next meeting, send an email to the Yahoo group list and it will be added to the agenda.
Next meeting is Monday, March 17.
Irfan Khan will present. He will talk about...
1. Scratch/Phratch environment a little bit of background information about it.
2. Brief talk about the course (Computational Thinking in our world) which is offered at Ryerson this term.
3. Extensions made to Scratch/Phratch environment in order to communicate computer science behind each of these topics
(Communications, social networks, Transportation and Medical, Robotics, location and Gps, )
There are almost 8 labs designed for the course and he will be demonstrating them all, if time permits.
Also, Chris will talk about his work to convert SqueakSource2 into a repository for TinyWiki objects to make the whole thing a kind of website builder/wiki thing.
