Speaking of which, one of my readers said he tried out Pharo recently and found the documentation wanting. He was expecting a Getting Started guide at the pharo.org website and couldn't find one. So he had to blunder around a bit. I told him he could've looked at "Chapter 2: A quick tour of Pharo" in the *Pharo by Example 5* book, but he's right. There ought to be something obvious at the pharo.org website that helps a newbie get Pharo up and running, understand how to basically use the Pharo IDE, and write the standard "Hello World" program. I checked out squeak.org and found the same documentation issue! Why is this??? Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas-2 wrote
Documentation is going well. In fact the stuff that kept me away of Squeak, despite of its potential was the lack of documentation. "The artifact is the curriculum" was to powerful but too heavy. You need a way to understand how to deconstruct and navigate the artifact that is usually anchored with the culture you have (books and reading) instead of only launching inspectors os browsing the code. Grafoscopio is my attempt to fill that gap between the world of objects/simulations and the world of scripts/documents.
