When was whe last time you had a check-up @esugsmalltalk? Make an appointment, 'cause Dr.TDD is coming soon! #drtdd #esug19 #smalltalk vimeo.com/354461588?ref=…

Ayer me entregaron este reconocimiento en el DC de FCEyN/UBA @ComputacionUBA Hace más de 25 años que soy docente, ni yo lo podía creer! ¿Por qué lo hago? Porque creo en mi país, quiero una Argentina mejor y se que la única manera de lograrlo es con educación de calidad Gracias!

Los espero este viernes 26, 10 AM en #Nerdearla Voy a tocar nuevamente por qué es importante la pasión en lo que hacemos y cómo junto a la belleza de nuestros programas impactan en nuestra felicidad como desarrolladores. ¡Los espero! (Presencial y online) nerdear.la/agenda/program…

The Croquet reflector has been open sourced. I finally gotten around fixing a few things so that now I have my own Croquet reflector and file server going. I think this is really good for wider adoption of the technology.

Happy birthday Alan Kay. The computer scientist, famous for innovating all the computer things including developing the overlapping-window graphic user interface & the idea of mobile computing in general & specifically to aid children's education, was born today in 1940.,

Happy Birthday to Ivan Sutherland, who received the #ACMTuringAward in 1988 for his pioneering and visionary contributions to computer graphics, starting with Sketchpad, a groundbreaking interactive computer-aided design system, and continuing thereafter: bit.ly/3UCoims

HBD to Alan Kay! Kay received the 2003 #ACMTuringAward for pioneering many of the ideas at the root of contemporary object-oriented programming languages, leading the team that developed Smalltalk, and for fundamental contributions to personal computing. bit.ly/3UA424P

"...and the way to stay with the future as it moves, is to always play your systems more grand than they seem to be right now." Happy birthday, Alan Kay! Full story: youtube.com/watch?v=aYT2se…

@yoshikiohshima Thanks @yoshikiohshima for sharing & all the hard work! 🙌

The VPRI video archive got some more addition. A box was left behind when we moved out from an old office, more than 10 years ago, but the box was kept by the care taker. The box had 20 or so video tapes, and those are digitized.

El martes cumplí un sueño y me junte con el más grande de todos, Alan Kay. Como siempre, hablamos de todo, es sin duda uno de los grandes pensadores de nuestra época. ¡Gracias Alan!

Luego de visitar a Alan Kay me di un panzazo de historia y visité la parte de la Differential Engine q Babbage llegó a construir y la replica de la Analytical Engine q se construyó con los planos q había hecho, con la cual Ada L ideo “el 1er programa” Joyas de nuestra historia!

Sketchpad: a truss bridge made out of fixed length constraints. (Note that instantiation followed by dismembering gives you the equivalent of a "paste" in more modern systems.)

The Concept of refactoring does have roots in Smalltalk - due to the lively nature a lot can be done dynamically with the code (even while running). And it still improves: check this presentation from @HernanWilkinson on Better Refactorings for Cuis ST youtube.com/watch?v=aF93NK…

I wish you all a year filled with New, and much less News!

Sketchpad: doing text using masters and instances (Thanks to Yoshiki Ohshima and Alan Kay for creating the font shapes from images in Sutherland's dissertation!)
