[GT] moldable tools for non-developers
 
|
Hi all!
There is this strong movement within Pharo now, that allows developers to expand the individual development process with the help of moldable dev tools based on GlamourToolkit (GT). This allows for a much more effective communication between stakeholders and developers resulting in a more cost effective development. While the ambitions behind GT seem to be developer centric, I wonder if there is also research or development done to support non-developer pharo users. Are there projects that try to integrate/interface "modeling" into/with GT? (e.g. like STELLA [1]) I am also wondering if aspect oriented programming could help closing the full cycle of an adaptive development/management process. Anybody researching on something like this? Thank you for any hint! Sebastian [1] https://www.iseesystems.com/ |

Yes. We're trying to bridge the gap between developers and non-developers (like myself) using moldable environments like Pharo. Our use case is data activism, visualization and storytelling. So our intended users are people coming from any of such fields that don't develop app, but try to tell factual stories supported by data and/or visualizations. For that I have developed the Grafoscopio[1] tool and the Data Week workshop+hackathon [2], were we approach the gap between devs and other users from the point of critical data & software literacy (pretty far away from the "Hello World" introduction to programming[3]). [1] http://mutabit.com/grafoscopio/index.en.html [2] http://mutabit.com/dataweek/ [3] http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/dumb-hello-world Pharo, agile visualization and moldable tools have allowed me to explore my PhD question about "How we can change the digital tools that change us?" from this critical approach to data/tech, tools and literacy for/from activism.

Hi Offray!
that is kind of what I am looking for. Would you mind if I contacted you directly? I am in the process of formulizing a master thesis and would love to bring Pharo into the mix. Is you phd thesis public? I tried to explore software ecosystems in the context of methiation theory by Peter-Paul Verbeek, but I was not able to design an applied mater thesis based on such philosopical theory. This is why the modeling of ecosystems services is a new broad scope that I will have to narrow down during the next quater.

It is at [1], with a public repository of the research artifacts since 2011 (before open research was in fashion :-P), but it is in Spanish. Sorry. I didn't have the time to clarify my mind about this research and also improve my English. But I would be glad to discuss it in English with you or anyone interested. You're very welcomed.

Hi offray
What I would like to know is what are the kind of mathematical support you need for your data analyses and that is not support by polymath. I'm "working" (well sweet dream) on future book on collective intelligence, basic AI stuff and I think that roassal is cool but you need to have also filtering and empowering the data. So what did you miss? I want powerful data journalists (they are important for our world).

Hi Stef,
Is kind of strange, but I didn't use Polymath at all for my prototypes on medicine data visualization[1] Panama Papers[2] or Twitter Data Selfies[3] or the book on Data Driven Journalism[4]. I just use Roassal, UDBC with Sqlite, NeoJSON and STON. So it may sound strange, but I think that Pharo is already a pretty good contestant on the area of Data Driven Storytelling, if we provide a more integrated "end user" experience (that's what I'm trying to do with Grafoscopio). Things like a better support for Markup languages with syntax highlighting and orthographic corrector (via GT-Documenter?), better GUI for querying data in SQL, are a felt needs and also integration with R has been asked. [1] http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/sdv-infomed [2] http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/panama-papers-1 [3] http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/ds-twitter-mockup [4] http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/mapeda/ That being said, I think that if we have something like Polymath integration and Math rendering inside Pharo, something like a Mathematica/Jupyter/TeXmacs notebook can be just around the corner, with a pretty superior DOM (live objects all the way down) and environment. I think that we could have a killer app for a growing niche! The main issue now is to provide researchers and data driven storytellers with a mature enough default experience to make them to bet on that Pharo powered vision of the future.
