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.

I also teach OOP using Pharo for undergraduate students (bachelor level). I don't customize Pharo, it's nice and enjoyable as it is. My first and very simple exercices require object inspector to observe effects due to direct messages sent to objects. Thus, object inspector permits me to explain object state, object behavior,... I think to experience Pharo in another curriculum for non computer scientist (and non programer) students and students that are not aware of this kind of materials (they learn excel, macros, and do data computation and data sorts. dot). First I will have to convince colleagues that learning programing is nice and usefull even for non computer scientist students ;-) Second, I'll need to justify Pharo among other appealing technologies (javascript...). I'm interested in seeing what I can do with your environment.

We also teach using Pharo here in Argentina. We also have created a simplified enviroment for beginner programmers called Ozono (formerly Loop). I think it would be nice to share our teaching experiences! I've been teaching introductory programming in Pharo for the last three semesters and starting my fourth. I was wondering whether anyone else is doing that. I've put quite a bit of effort into it and would be willing to share my materials if anyone was interested.

Re: [Pharo-dev] introduce Morphic-Core package

by Pavel Krivanek

Hi, it's already integrated. Thank you, Esteban. This one was hard one because of MC limitations (read bugs). We started to move the first methods too. So I will now slowly create the next issues for the next methods movement between packages. The goal is to have small subset of Morphic that contains only basic rendering and even processing so it should be easy to understand and maintain. Plus I want to have the possibility to be to load it as standalone package to non-Morphic image. Because of uMorphic project we know it is possible. Then we will split the next Morphic parts like text rendering.
