Happy birthday!

We’re a small community

Denotative Objects!

Tools adapted (Browser, Inspector, Debugger) to work with these objects Delegation with parent objects a-la-Self Clones and replicants: different ways of sharing behavior at object-level Smooth transition to classes DenotativeObjects

Denotative Object for assertions: Assert Graphical Denotative Objects (linked to a Morph object) DenotativeObjects

Refactorings!

Implemented from scratch Some refactors implemented, a lot of refactors pending to be implemented Model flexible enough to support “complex” refactors in the future. (e.g. replace if with polymorphism) Refactorings

Libraries!

Aconcagua: measures model https://github.com/hernanwilkinson/Cuis-Smalltalk-Aconcagua Chaltén: Gregorian Calendar model (based on Aconcagua) https://github.com/hernanwilkinson/Cuis-Smalltalk-Chalten Assertion helpers Libraries included

Didactical addons

Auto (or manual) restore of lost changes Stack size watcher / Recursion detection at parse-time Proper vocabulary (e.g “collaborators” instead of “inst vars”) Didactical addons

Demo!

Documentation / Examples Add more graphical objects support Managing images / Self-Upgrading More refactorings We’ll continue working on

Conclusions

Many changes on CuisUniversity also imply improving Cuis in general We have not dedicated too much time on development, but we have a decent set of features We’re constantly shaping the tools while keeping simplicity. This is helpful not just for teaching, but any kind of experiment in general There’s a lot of room for improvement. We need your help! Conclusions

Thank you!
