Essays

We have a couple of essays published at Smalltalk renaissance. We need more.

This is our opportunity to answer the questions, concerns, and criticisms of non-Smalltalk developers, an opportunity afforded by the SRP, which is drawing much new attention to Smalltalk. We should exploit this opportunity and not waste it.

Suggested essay topics include:

- talk about actual use of Smalltalk in the enterprise
- expand on the much-touted productivity advantage of Smalltalk (many people are skeptical)
- explain how the experience of using the Smalltalk environment is superior to that of Eclipse, IntelliJ, Visual Studio, etc.
- talk about future developments in Smalltalk, eg, concurrency features, new IDEs, new tooling, etc.
- any other topics you may deem noteworthy

So, please, contribute an essay. Without you, there is no campaign.

Send all submissions to my personal email: horrido.hobbies at gmail dot com.

Thanks.

Someone mentioned to me that there are some incredible Pharo-related projects coming down the pike, that these developments should be made known to the rest of the world. To which I replied:

Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely! I want Pharo to get this message out there.

I can help, but I cannot be the only voice. This is why I entreat you to write about these incredible developments and present them as essays at our website. I have focussed (or tried to focus) the world's attention on our web of social media (eg, WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn). Rather than having your message scattered everywhere, it should be in one place where everybody is drawn to. That's the power of branding!

As I mentioned in a previous post, the amount of published information on Smalltalk (and Pharo) is voluminous. For me to curate all this information and summarize it on our website is daunting; I simply don't have enough time and energy. I need your help.

So please, take this unique opportunity to spread your message. Talk about all the great things coming out of Pharo. I will publish your essays and make you look good!

You know where to send your submissions.

Thanks.
