I also teach Pharo in an advanced lecture on software engineering. Students are familiar with Java already. I usually ask the students to implement the Mine game from Pharo by Example. I also ask them to read the 9 nine chapters. I then ask them to work on Moose by realizing some code assessment tasks. Are you guys using a different tutorial?

Re: [Pharo-dev] Anyone else teaching programming in Pharo?

by Noury Bouraqadi

Hi, I'm teaching Pharo to students that are already familiar with Java (master level). I take full Pharo and they are quite disturbed by both the syntax and the disconnection with files. That was my goal actually to make them discover a totally different universe. Some end up loving it, and even turn Smalltalkers :-) Still I'm interested by a simplified environment at least for the first lab sessions.
