[Tutorial] Rediscovering the UX of the legendary HP-35 Scientific Pocket Calculator

Hi,

I have written a new, extensive, long form, introductory article about Pharo.

Rediscovering the UX of the legendary HP-35 Scientific Pocket Calculator

A tutorial on Pharo, test and specification based immersive programming

https://medium.com/@svenvc/rediscovering-the-ux-of-the-legendary-hp-35-scientific-pocket-calculator-d1d497ece999

It is a bit different because

- it is based on a non-trivial example

- it uses a backdrop story unrelated to Pharo

- it uses several multimedia elements

- it is published on medium.com which is a general publishing platform

The appendix describes several ways you can get the code. I think building both a Spec and Seaside UI from the same specification as well as reusing functional tests in different contexts is cool. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Sven

Apparently it already got posted on YC News

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7943876

so it needs votes and comments to survive.

Sven, not used Pharo for a long time, I forgot nearly all of it ... so I need help how to activate YOUR *.mcz files

and what does the different numbers mean? Version ... so ... one should always try the latest or all??

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Tutorial] Rediscovering the UX of the legendary HP-35 Scientific Pocket Calculator

Peter,

Yes, the highest numbered .mcz file is the latest.

In the appendix, I describe the different ways you can get the code, in order of increasing complexity - you took the latest ;-)

Anyway, I hope you figure it out.

Thanks; like I said, this last year we seem to have this friendly competition in trying to produce the best possible documentation. Everyone's contributions, combined, will eventually make a difference, I am sure.

Let's try again - it is hard to get up the rankings, both votes & comments help - thanks.

Got it working ( as a sorcerers apprentice) ;-).

Thanks ... now reading your web page will make (more) sense to me ..

By the way, I programmed the HP 32S with Python on Ipad ... (programming part not finished, yet, and some small quirks ;-( ). I think, your info about your Pharo implementation will help to review my Python version ...

Great.

Yes, that is a nice one as well. It is a nice project to try to implement an emulator, a pretty deep subject.
