Adrian Lienhard announced that Seasidehosting is now running Pharo. This is long anticipated because Seasidehosting.st is a easy to use hosting service to host your seaside images. Supporting Pharo was long anticipated and for sure will be a good step for new developers to Seaside.

Slight improvements
I decided to bring some freshness into the blog and therefore changed the design a little bit. First and foremost you might have recognized the new “Like”-Button of Facebook. You might now be able to share my posts in your personal social network if you like them.
The other change belongs to the Twitter messages. I realized that I use Twitter more and more often to share certain links or give brief news. Because those messages are not enough to fill entire blog articles, I decided to give the Twitter message more weight. That’s the reason why they are now visible straight on the startig page of www.experiencedwebprogramming.com.
I hope you enjoy the changes as much as I certainly do :)

A Smalltalk Portal
Geert Claes announced the existence of a new portal page for everyone interested in Smalltalk. The great URL www.world.st (short pause …) is a great resource to land on if you are looking for information about Smalltalk in any manner.
Further links, helpful books, a community calender and way more can be found there. Check it out!

Developing with Android SDK – Part 3: Outmaneuver the proxy settings under SDK 2.1
Ok, let’s make it pretty quick. After going through resources about using proxy settings in the Android SDK of version 1.6 or higher (2.1 in my case …). I came across this post.
At first it looks like waving the white flag, but reading it until the end there is a programmatic solution to hack the proxy settings:
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "myProxyHost");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "myProxyPort");
This indeed seems to be the solution to get your application communicating via a certain proxy. But note: these settings then are only valid in your application.

Developing with Android SDK – Part 2: The Application
So this is part 2 of my newest project: learning Java and more importantly learning developing for and with the Android SDK. As I said in my previous post, I was very convinced that the process of learning and developing will not be without any struggles. Well I didn’t expect them to be that hard at all. But learning also means overcoming and solving the issues. Continued…

Developing with Android SDK – Part 1: Getting everything together
Again, I want to widen my experiences and after successfully gaining knowledge in developing with the iPhone SDK, I want to go on with the Android SDK. This article (or maybe the series of articles) will show the progress from first ideas over development struggles until a hopefully successfull release of an application.

Working with Twitter from Pharo or Squeak
James Robertson lately introduced his implementation of a plugin to work with the Twitter API from ObjectStudio and VisualStudio. I asked him today (on the best time at afternoon) if there is a possibility to use code and port it to Squeak or Pharo.
While he was giving me the permission via Email – and I am very thankful for that – he now did the same publicly. I am glad that he decided to share his work! As soon as I have a little more spare time I will dig into the code and try to port it to Pharo. Could be cool to use it in connection with Seaside!
But please bear with me I do not have that much of time – especially with christmas coming soon …

Online browsing through Seaside documentation
Torsten Bergmann posted a more than helpful link on the Seaside mailing list. If you are looking for a quick and/or easy way to read documentation about certain methods or classes of Seaside 3.0 check out the link: http://soek.goodies.st.s3.amazonaws.com/Seaside/3.0a3/index.html.
But it is not only helpful for Seaside but Smalltalk in general: http://soek.goodies.st/.
Both links landed on my bookmarks list immediately.

A new book is published
Just a quick note: Andrew P. Black, Stéphane Ducasse, Oscar Nierstrasz, Damien Pollet, Damien Cassou and Marcus Denker published a book called “Pharo by Example”. Remarkably said the book isn’t only available offline but also online and for free.
Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to dig into it. But after my holidays, I definately spend some time going through it!

Do the tweet
As some of you might have noticed, I added another field to the sidebar on the right. It shows the current posts I did on twitter. Yes, that means I eventually created an account. For a long time I didn’t see any benefit in using Twitter but I do now believe that it might help to provide content to a larger community and may also spread the word about Seaside a little more!
So if you want to follow my account, simply go to www.twitter.com/expwebprog.
