Hello, I'm new to this list.
Hello and welcome Let us know if you get more questions. Stef
I tried one of the examples in http://www.slideshare.net/pharoproject/pharo-tutorial-at-ecooptutorial
Slide 70. Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'PharoExtras' project: 'XMLParser'; loadStable.
The debugger pops up with the message 'Could not find a valid ConfigurationReference'
Any suggestions on why this happened?
Thank you, Steve

Some slides I think that relate are: * 47-49 syntax comparisons to another typical language * 72-75 easy web interaction * 80 serializing continuations / exception context (this is massively impressive!) * 81 powerful breakpoints [1]http://www.slideshare.net/pharoproject/pharo-tutorial-at-ecooptutorialcheers -ben
