Today I read pharo by example

I started reading a long time ago but, have not finished it yet. And I want to finish reading it so that I can go on to reading other pharo books.

And it would be nice to finally make something with pharo this year. I don’t know if that will happen but, there is always hope. I hope. I will keep trying to design and make a program. And maybe one day it will actually happen.

Yesterday I made it through the first week of pharo mooc

Awhile ago on this blog I said I was watching pharo mooc. Then I stopped watching it. And a few days ago I started watching it again. And finally made it through the first week. I have not done any of the challenges though. And I want to try those.

At least I watched all the videos for the first week. Now on to week 2.

Today I finished the lights-out

game from pharo by example. And it got me to thinking that the times that I have read pharo by example before I read the book and then that is it.

I was watching a video the other day by blender guru where he was talking about learning blender. He was talking about making a project with new skills you learn.

And I never do that with pharo. I follow along in a book but, never get a project of my own to make.

And to me making my own pharo project would be fun. I would not have to follow what some else does.

So I want to start my own pharo project.

Oh, and today I used pharo 10 for the first time.

Its hard to believe that I have used pharo since it first came out and I still have not made my own project with it. Pharo came out years ago.

This year I am going to make my own project with pharo. I hope.

Today I was able to clone the counter

project that I put on github yesterday. So now I can commit and push pharo projects to git hub and also clone them. I wish it were easy to come up with ideas for programs I want to write.

I remember years ago I found squeak on the internet and was so excited to build programs with squeak. It never happened.

Then I switched to pharo. And wanted to write a lot of programs with pharo. That has not happened yet.

Maybe I think the the programs will design and code themselves. It would be nice. Programming does not work that way.

Today I learned how to upload a pharo

project to github with iceberg. I not think I would ever be able to upload any of my pharo code to github. I am glad I was wrong. Now all I have to do is make lots of projects with pharo. For me that is easy to write and hard to do.

Before iceberg pharo had monticello. And with monticello I uploaded exactly one project to squeak source. Which was the lights out game from pharo by example 5. I had dreams of writing mounts of code in pharo and uploading that code to squeaksource. It never happened.

Hopefully pharo and github will be different.

In 2022 I want to get good at python

and pharo. I used to want to be able to program in as many programming languages as I could. That did not work for me. I ended up switching programming languages a lot and never made any program. Oh, and I don’t want to spend that much time learning programming languages.

So now I know I need to limit the number of programming languages I want to learn. And I have always wanted to learn pharo so that is a must. And I want to use python for machine learning.

Also this year I might want to try High level assembly again.

Oh, and I probably want to put up a website.

Oh, maybe that is to much on my plate. I hope I will get something programmed this year. I will see.

In 2022 I hope to make

a programming using pharo. I first started out using squeak then I switched to pharo. I have probably been using some version of smalltalk for about 15 years. And I have not made anything that anyone would want to use.

I did solve a project euler problem using pharo but, that is about all. Well for 2022 I want to make a program with pharo because I have always wanted to get good at pharo. I hope I get that done.

I want to learn seaside

I want to learn seaside which is a smalltalk web development framework. I want to read dynamic web development with seaside. I have worked with seaside a little but, never stuck with it. So now I hope to learn how to use seaside.

Machine learning I don’t know much about it

I want to know more about it. I have read machine learning for dummies twice. And you I have not done anything with machine learning.

It must be that I tell myself OatmealBreakfast someday you will get to it. Someday you will make that neural network that you want to make. Someday. To be honest I don’t know if that day will ever arrive.

I do know that I want to use pharo and python for machine learning. And I do want to make a neural network that writes songs. So that I don’t have to write songs. Ha.

I don’t know if I will be able t make a neural network. I do want to try. I might also want to try R. The list of new things I want to try never ends.
