Anyone else teaching programming in Pharo?
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. For instance, I've created a few little MicroWorlds for beginners to use (jumping directly into the browser is too difficult for complete programming novices). One is for doing turtle graphics. I've gone ahead and shared that for Pharo 2.0. You can get it in the Configuration Browser under the name EduTech. If you have some interest, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Hi Jeff, Just to mention you can do Euclidean geometry programming with DrGeo from the a Workspace[1] to build math model. Hilaire [1] http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xrqjvx_1300-programmed-sketch_tech Le 18/10/2013 16:43, J.F. Rick a écrit :

I'm :) I have boys at home and I would love to have some material to pair program with them.
Cheers,
