Exactly. I'd like to do podcast interviews with you people on this list to convey that powerful emotion. Takers? On Monday, November 4, 2013, Sven Van Caekenberghe wrote:

Hi Sven
yes, i read PBE, it's a great book, i love it. You are right, Pharo is
different, and i'm wrong in searching the way to do "old school" stuff.
Well, it is not wrong, but maybe a bit too early.
The main attraction of Pharo is the incredible environment that gives you âlive objects at your fingertipsâ. Once you get used to live debugging, workspaces, inspector/explorers, readable source code all the way down, etc.. it will be hard to go back to more primitive environments.

It's quite hard to me to explain what i need. When i ask something, i've never had the answer that i want. What do you mean for "There are some places in the system where you can put txt file"? What are the places you are talking about? Is it the Pharo 2.0 folder? Can somebody tell me step-by-step how to create the .exe file? Why is it so difficult? As i said at the beginnning of one of my first messages, i'm a rookie in Pharo. So i need something more.
Thanks again. Paolo
Pharo is quite different from C, C# or Java. Building a .exe can be done or be simulated, but it is not how Pharo is normally used, so it is not a simple, one-click option. I would consider it âadvanced'.
When learning something new, especially when it is very different from what you are used to, it is best, in my opinion, to first do everything the way things are meant to be done. You will âget itâ much sooner that way.
Working in an image without source files and using higher level distributed source code control feels very strange for newcomers.
You should start with Pharo by Example (dated, but still the best intro), after that there is Deep into Pharo, or the upcoming Pharo for the Enterprise.

Sven
