The chapters for Pharo by example Two have been moved to https:/scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/pharobooks/PharoByExampleTwo-Eng/. The chapters for Pharo by example one are still managed on this git repository so that translators may pull requests.

This is the LaTeX source repository of the Pharo by Example books 1 and 2.

The public web site of the books is: https://pharobyexample.org/

All the source repos live here: https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/

See PBE-TO-DO.txt for status of tasks for PBE 1 and 2.

Pharo by Example volume one is managed on https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoByExample-english

To contribute to the book or to a translation project, please:

• subscribe to https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/sbe-discussion;
• clone the relevant repository and contact the lead person responsible;
• if you are unsure who is in charge, ask on the list;
• publish changes to your copy of the the repo and inform the lead to pull changes.

To start a new translation project:

• announce the start of the translation effort on sbe-discussion;
• people then will react and you find others who want to help;
• we will then add a repository to https://github.com/squarebracketassociates;
• we will list it on https://pharobyexample.org/.

Pharo by example Volume is managed using svn:

If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same, similar or a compatible license. For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the license terms of this work. The best way to do this is with a link to this web page. Any of the above conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright holder. Nothing in this license impairs or restricts the author's moral rights.

Your fair dealing and other rights are in no way affected by the above. This is a human-readable summary of the Legal Code (the full license).

The main file is PBE1.tex (resp. PBE2.tex). Chapters are in subdirectories. You can latex either the entire book, or each individual chapter. Each chapter file starts and ends with the same incantation which will optionally include macros or end the document if it is latexed individually.

Use the \ct{} macro for in-line code. Use the {method} {classdef} {example} and {script} environments for multi-line code.

If you add a new chapter:

• please be sure to include it from PBE1.tex.
• Remember to include its /figures/ subdirectory in the graphicspath, which is set in the preamble to PBE1.tex. Don't forget the trailing /
• Please make sure the chapter compiles with latex both from the main book and as a separate chapter.
• Set the svn:ignore property on the chapter's directory. The command to do this is svn propset svn:ignore -F .svnignore

IMPORTANT: Please check out a fresh copy of the book and compile the book to verify that you have added all the dependent files (e.g., figures).

To build the PDF of the book, simply run "make" in the Book folder. Be sure you have texlive installed (see below).

The book has been reformatted to 6"x9" (for Lulu). If you want to print any part of the book, you will find that printing 2 up at 140% works well.

Tests are automatically generated from the LaTeX sources.

Grab a recent Pharo image and move it to the folder Pharo book folder. Do not use a 1-click image, since the actual image should be located at the same level as the PBE1.tex file.

To run the tests, load the package PBE-Testing from the following SqueakSource project:

MCHttpRepository
    location: 'https://www.squeaksource.com/PharoByExample'
    user: ''
    password: ''

Then evaluate the following expression in a workspace:

PBEmain new runTests

For PBE2, instead run:

PBE2main new runTests

This will automatically extract and run the tests in the LaTeX sources of the Pharo by Example book. It will also load the hands-on exercises, and check that they are working. (Some tests may also be included from the dependent hands-on packages.)

This will parse (using Regex) the PBE1.tex (resp. PBE2.tex) to locate the included chapter files, parse each chapter file to search for @TEST annotations, generate test case classes for each chapter with tests in a new category PBE-GeneratedTests, and generate a test method (numbered by the line number in the chapter) for each test found. (NB: Any old generated tests are removed before new ones are generated.) Finally, by sending "runTests", a TestRunner is opened on the new category, and all those tests are run.

A sample test in the BasicClasses looks like this:

=\begin{code}{@TEST}
=a1 := { { 'harry' } } .
=a2 := a1 shallowCopy.
=(a1 at: 1) at: 1 put: 'sally'.
=(a2 at: 1) at: 1 --> 'sally'
=\end{code}

The "print it" invocation (-->) will generate an assertion.

The generated source code looks like this:

=test204
=	a1 := { { 'harry' } } .
=	a2 := a1 shallowCopy.
=	(a1 at: 1) at: 1 put: 'sally'.
=	self assert: [ (a2 at: 1) at: 1  ] value printString = '''sally'''

You may also silently declare or initialize variables immediately after @TEST, and you may now place comments after the test string:

=\begin{code}{@TEST |a b|}
=a := b := 'hello'.
=a == b --> true "two variables but one object"
=\end{code}

The generated testCase subclass is PBEBasicClassesTestCase.

The generated tests can be removed by evaluating "PBEmain removeOldTestCategory". This is done automatically whenever you do "PBEmain new runTests".

Please use at least texlive 2005. https://www.tug.org/texlive/ If you are using TeXshop or another GUI, be sure to set the path to the tex executables. E.g., in TeXShop>Preferences>Engine set the path to: /usr/local/texlive/2005/bin/powerpc-darwin

For intel macs you will need texlive 2007. The path should be /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin

Please be sure to use Lucida Sans, not Helvetica, or you may have problems uploading the PDF to Lulu. See the font embedding FAQ on lulu.com See more detailed instructions in Cover/README.txt

To inform latex about the location of local style files, set the following environment variable (tcsh):

setenv TEXINPUTS ./local//:../local//:
	or (bash):
export TEXINPUTS=./local//:../local//:

If you are using a GUI like TeXshop, you must set the environment variable in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "https://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>TEXINPUTS</key>
	<string>./local//:../local//:</string>
</dict>
</plist>

NB: You may need to logout and login again after creating or modifying this file. Note colon at end of TEXINPUTS that means "append current value here" (eg local has higher priority). Double slash means search recursively.

The bibliography file scg.bib is available from a separate git repository:

git clone [email protected]:scgbib

Alternatively, you can check out a read-only version as follows:

git clone git:https://scg.unibe.ch/scgbib

You should separately check out this file and link it in wherever it is needed.
