very good idea indeed. I try to do something similar with my video tutorial, my aim is to help beginners go beyond the basic of pharo. I find creating video tutorial much easier and more fun than writing stuff down. But yes we can do so much more in the area as well.

Hello, As I struggle, not without fun of course, to learn more about Pharo and its frameworks and idea came to my mind. We could put together some guidelines on how to become proficient in Pharo, and eventually come to be a power user and / or a developer. I read several of this recommendations on various list of other programming languages. Basically the idea is to have some sort of guide, with theoretical and practical stuff. For example: *Beginners.* Start by reading Pharo by Example for getting to know the system. On Agile development read XXXX book or article. On Object Oriented design and programming read this or that. For practice do this exercises from this book or site. For a background on Smalltalk read here or there Some stuff on algorithms.
*Intermediate* Object Serialization read from here. The VM from here.. Building UIs Basic Frameworks Deep into Pharo Pharo for the Enterprise etc, etc, etc
*Advanced* etc, etc, etc
Like a road map to becoming a serious Pharo users and / or developer. I know this takes years but I think it would be very useful. Well at least for me. I sometimes get lost when I read things like serializing, marshalling, object memory, not to mention the internals of Pharo.
Here is a link of something someone prepared for Haskell: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1012573/getting-started-with-haskell <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1012573/getting-started-with-haskell>
Just an idea, it will be collaborative. I volunteer to keep and maintain the list updated in a place where it will be available to anyone but of course can't contribute much besides doing that. Cheers Nacho
