Portable application for the OLPC XO
The OLPC XO
is a dedicated light and cost effective notebook for
children and school. It comes with Sugar, a dedicated user
interface. OLPC is recommending Python and Smalltalk as the
programming language to develop end user applications for the XO.
Developing software for XO is a nice way to support the OLPC
initiative, but writing software is tedious, so you may want your
application to still be platform neutral and run universally on
GNU/Linux, Mac OSX, Windows. In these speech, I will expose how you
can use Smalltalk to develop cost effectively portable end user
application. We explain the steps involved and illustrate the
statement with DrGeoII, an end user Smalltalk application for
interactive geometry.
