Pharo showcase demos?

simondenier

Question: what do you show to other people when you want to demo Pharo/Smalltalk? in 15 minutes / 30 minutes / 1 hour

Do you have a typical example? Do you use a kata? Or a full blown application?

What tools do you show?


I'm looking for successful recipes/topos to present Pharo in a technical context: the premice is that people are interested by Pharo, but they will not be convinced by a toy case and a basic demo of tools. A TDD demo would be more efficient I guess.

That would be cool to have a list of such showcases depending on the context (duration of demo, technical level of people, interest...)

I like katas with TDD and Autotest.

I was also impressed by Hilaire demonstrating DrGeo. It's the typical application where Smalltalk brings features to the user.

Interesting. Does it include a bit of programming? I guess you can extend DrGeo with your own programs.

Well, Moose is my next step after the first introduction to Smalltalk :)

But I would like to start with the common tools in Pharo.

OK I have never done a kata before so I should definitely watch your latest screencasts :)

Now I remember that the Picasa sample looks like a very fun project, both relatively simple yet not naive (it talks with Google after all :))
