Friends of Morphic
Locked

Hi Edgar, Hi all,
This is a reply to correspondence I have be having with Edgar about morphic. I've copied it to the morphic list and to squeakdev. If any out there have an interest in becoming friends of morphic, I invite discussion and responses. I am hoping the morphic list might revive thru the help and interest of friends.

Yes, at some point a team will be the answer. Right now I am interested in questions. My idea of a friends group is to generate ideas in a more casual atmosphere. To attract interested parties. Identify strengths and weaknesses of those. Identify resources (I.e. who has experience and time (or students!) to be part of a team.) To identify interesting projects and maybe discuss which are worth allocating resources to.

FWIW (and WIW may be VDL given my current pace) I'm working on tutorials
using Morphic. ===Blake=== On Sat, 09 Jun 2007 19:32:51 -0700, Jerome Peace <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Edgar, Hi all, > > This is a reply to correspondence I have be having > with Edgar about morphic.

Hello Blake,
B> FWIW (and WIW may be VDL given my current pace) I'm working on tutorials B> using Morphic. maybe this is of interest for your tutorials: I'm definitely a friend of Morphic too. First it's great to build 'unusual' UI's with it. I hat some hard time to build boring UI's. I come from dcl (Dialogue Control Language) which I always thought superior to the VB/Delphi way of plastering widgets onto panels. Dcl just is a nested tree of rows and columns into which you stick your widgets. The key was to notice that TableLayout is no table layout but either a horizontal or a vertical layout. Since then I happily paster RowMorphs and ColumnMorphs onto my UI into these I stick the widgets, including spacers. The other part of dcl which is about how to combine the behaviour and the widgets easily maps to the Pluggable...Morphs if you separate creating the morphs from setting their actions and targets. This allows to create UI's before creating the models and for some groups of problems (mainly when doing something new) a UI helps me to find the necessary properties of the model. Though I think this would be superior I still do it the way I learned it from the examples. Which is using the class methods which set the behaviour of the widgets during creation. I would be interested in discussing your UI concepts (here or by mail) and your low pace ideally matches my time constraints :-) If you are interested I'm willing to help reviewing and testing. I have the opposite Midas touch which is good for testing. Cheers, Herbert mailto:[hidden email] |

There are some real advantages to coding a design versus painting it, but it's hard to sell that. > I would be interested in discussing your UI concepts (here or by mail) > and your low pace ideally matches my time constraints :-) > > If you are interested I'm willing to help reviewing and testing.

In reply to this post by Jerome Peace
Hi Jerome,
I'm currently interested mostly on advancing my Morphic 3 project. You can read about it at www.jvuletich.org . If Friends of Morphic agree, I'd like to share opinions, etc. about M3 in the morphic list. BTW, Jerome, I'd be very happy if you got involved in M3 somehow!
