MarvelCoder provides a Smalltalk IDE for your use on Windows and Mac.

It looks like you are sending the same password for every new account, not very secure!

I was wondering why I can't find anything about MarvelCoder on google.

Warren Russell Petr,

Can you tell me if all the courses use Smalltalk exclusively?

Thanks!

Jan 26 2019 at 12:39am Copy Link

peter anon I really seem to be missing a HELLO WORLD example to know if this language is something I can relate to.

For some reason I';m not seeing a single example or lesson I can access on your website?

IMHO that's not the way you attract people to adopt a new language.

Jan 26 2019 at 5:23am Copy Link

Petr Hi Warren, Smalltalk is 3.5 times more productive than JavaScript (see: https://marvelcoder.com/l...ding-fast/ for more info ). So Smalltalk is primarily what the courses teach and the IDE empowers you to use. In the PRO course, the Smalltalk code you write automatically generates JavaScript, HTML and CSS in the browser-side of your web app — saving much time and learning of other languages.

In the MOBI course, you write Smalltalk and it generates JavaScript for your mobile app. JavaScript's strength is that it's pervasive, available on all devices. JavaScript's weakness is it's complexity, WTFs, warts, difficulty to master and lack of productivity. That's why Microsoft invented TypeScript and Google uses GWT (Google Web Toolkit) — each of these allow you to write code in a better language than JS but compile to JavaScript.

So yes, our courses and tools focus on Smalltalk, but it's a way to learn only one language to build web apps and mobile apps. Smalltalk is the most productive and easiest to learn language. Novices learn quickly. Professionals become more productive with Smalltalk. And, what you learn with Smalltalk will carry over into your use of other languages, when you eventually expand your repertoire.

Petr Hi Peter, Thanks for your feedback. We will be adding to our website in the near future. I'll provide two Hello World examples below:

#1. Code: Transcript open; show: 'Hello World'.

#2. Code for opening a window of a specified size with a caption:

aWindow := Window create.
aWindow width: 325; height: 275;
caption: 'Hello World';
show.

peter anon Thanks Warren!

Can it do any graphic animation or blitting, to make even a simple game out of it?
I presume collision detection is beyond its reach?

So ultimately your IDE produces javascript?

Jan 26 2019 at 10:25am Copy Link

Petr Hi Peter, It is a Smalltalk IDE. For web apps (PRO course), it provides both server-side code running Smalltalk and generates client-side code (for the web browser) in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

For Mobile App development (MOBI course), Smalltalk code that you write will generate JavaScript for your mobile app — using Cordova to generate the mobile app for iOS and Android. MOBI includes the web apps course.

For Desktop Apps, just use Smalltalk. About your graphic animation question, I'll update this response shortly.

MarvelCoder.com - Jan 26 2019 at 10:54am Copy Link

peter anon Thanks.
And can it do sound and video playback at all?
Like youtube embed, or html5?

Also hoping it has, or will have, html5 canvas support?

Jan 26 2019 at 11:25am Copy Link

Petr Hi Peter, MarvelCoder uses a modified, open source IDE called Pharo.
For Desktop Games: Code directly in Smalltalk. There's support for sound, animation, graphics.. with very little code required.
Here's 2D graphics: https://www.youtube.com/w...XUZiFtnxK8
And 3D game style graphics: https://www.youtube.com/w...Nze9tnwYxY (experimental code scripting a game engine). Here you can see the power of Live Coding, making code changes while the game/graphic program is running. There is sound support. Our PRO course has a unit with some sample sound generation code. The Youtube videos show what's possible, but do not reflect our more basic course content.

For Web Browser Games: You'd have to integrate with a JavaScript graphic or game library such as babylon.js. This is beyond the scope of our courses at this time. But you can do it with the tools provided in our MOBI course, with your own learning efforts.

Beyond simple web apps, if you want to do your own HTML5, Youtube embedding... you'll have to do some manual client-side coding that's not within the scope of our courses. But, the IDE enables you to do these things. Embedding Youtube videos is pretty easy, for instance.

Warren Russell Hi Petr,

Thank you for your earlier reply. You describe Pharo as an IDE or development environment, but I've been reading that it's actually a dialect of Smalltalk. For example, Wikipedia says, " Pharo Smalltalk is a fork of Squeak oriented toward research and use in commercial environments," and "Squeak is an open source implementation derived from Smalltalk-80 Version 1 by way of Apple Smalltalk."

In other words, Squeak is a version or dialect of Smalltalk, and Pharo is a version of Smalltalk -- and it's oriented toward commercial environments.

Can you clarify this for me?

Thanks!

Petr Hi Warren, Smalltalk was invented by Xerox. Early in the 80's Steve Jobs visited Xerox Palo Alto and saw a computer with the first Windowing user interface and a mouse — he discovered Smalltalk. Jobs got the idea for the Apple Lisa and Mac from Smalltalk. Later, Apple had their own Smalltalk. When Jobs returned to Apple, the first iPhones and Macs at that time were programmed using Objective-C, a language using Smalltalk syntax but not as powerful or easy-to-use as Smalltalk. Objective-C is still used today by Apple.

In the 90's, IBM and other companies sold Smalltalk IDEs and it was the fastest growing language. In the early 2000's, the U.S. joint military used Smalltalk to write a million-line battle simulation program called JWARS. It outperformed a similar simulation called STORM written in C++ by the U.S. Air Force. Big banks, Wall Street firms and others still use Smalltalk today.

My own eCommerce hosting company's systems are built with IBM Smalltalk.

Today, Pharo Smalltalk is the most modern Smalltalk and very actively developed. In a recent 2017 Stack Overflow Survey of 60,000 developers, Smalltalk was voted the "Most Loved High-Level Language".

As a software engineer or programmer, you should use the best tool for the job. Low level languages such as C, C++ and Rust are best for building operating systems such as Windows, Linux or MacOS. For building Apps, high-level languages such as Smalltalk are best. And, Smalltalk is the easiest language to learn. See: https://marvelcoder.com/l...ding-fast/

Jake User Are you using Pharo 7.0 as a base? It just came out a few days ago.

Jan 27 2019 at 1:06pm Copy Link

Petr HI Jake User, At this moment, I'm working on a major upgrade of the PRO Course 2, using the new Pharo 7 that just came out a few days ago. All PRO and MOBI members will get the upgraded IDE in the next 5 to 10 days. The INTRO and NOVICE Courses only use the Cloud IDE.

The MarvelCoder IDE is based on a modified open-source Pharo Smalltalk IDE. It has built-in course lessons, example code and is synchronized with the online CourseWare units and video tutorials. I'm very keen to get this upgrade to you guys.
