Title: GTInspector Hands-on
Speaker: Andrei Chis
Fri, August 22, 11:00am – 11:30am

Abstract:
GTInspector is a new object inspector for Pharo. It features a novel interface based on a simple visual language: each object is represented in multiple ways, related objects are connected in an exploration session and code is made part of the interface seamlessly. Moreover, the inspector can be dynamically extended during analysis time.

But, GTInspector is not just a new inspector implementation. It promotes the philosophy of a moldable IDE and it empowers developers to take charge of their environment. It opens a new way of approaching objects. 

In this tutorial, you will get the chance of using and extending the GTInspector in several use cases.

Bio - Andrei Chis:
Andrei Chiş is a PhD student at the University of Bern in the Software Composition Group (http://scg.unibe.ch/). Prior to this, he got his master and bachelor degrees in software engineering from the "Politehnica" University of Timișoara. To improve decision-making during software development he maintains that development environments have to be moldable, that is, they have to both adapt themselves and be adapted by developers to specific development contexts, and builds new solutions that make this vision possible. Currently, he is working on a Moldable Debugger (http://scg.unibe.ch/research/moldabledebugger) and a Moldable Inspector (http://scg.unibe.ch/research/moldableinspector). He is also a Moose (http://moosetechnology.org) and Pharo (http://pharo.org) contributor.

Bio - Tudor Girba:
Tudor Gîrba attained his PhD from the University of Berne, and he now works as team and innovation lead at CompuGroup Medical Schweiz, and as an independent consultant. He leads the work on Moose, a smart open-source platform for software and data analysis (http://moosetechnology.org) and he is part of the board of Pharo, the new cool kid on the object-oriented languages arena (http://pharo.org). He developed the humane assessment method (http://humane-assessment.com), and he is helping companies to rethink the way they manage software systems. To demystify innovation, he also developed the demo-driven innovation method (http://demodriven.com) as a combination of design thinking, idea prototyping and storytelling. In 2014, he won the prestigious Dahl-Nygaard Junior Award (http://aito.org) for his work on modeling and visualization of evolution and interplay of large numbers of objects.
