We all hate you Stef , its not you , its us :D Seriously though its not that necessary to baby sit begineers, the important thing for a beginner is to love coding. I remember when I started I would have begged to have an IDE like Pharo and a language like pharo, instead all I had was Locomotive Basic, command line and a really badly written and even worse translated book. I would have begged for code critics .
An IDE that tells me what I do wrong ? Are you serious ? It would have been sci fiction in 1988. Did I hate coding ? No Seriously who expectes coding to be easy at start.... only lazy and naive people. Neither make good coders anyway. I think with your passion about coding and the great design of Pharo as an IDE it will be hard not to fall in love with coding. All begineer hand is friendly hand to point them towards the right direction, just some reassurance that they do things right and that their mind is on the right path. A side note, I am a bit sceptical for your decision to go down the Pharo 5 route, are we sure Pharo 5 will be stable enough for a begineer to use in the time of the MOOC ? Esteban already fixed most of my problems with pharo 5, I am actually closing my bug reports now, but still it seems to me a bit risky and maybe it puts unnecessary pressure on Esteban and the Moose people. I any case I wish you success with MOOC :) On Sun, Jan 17, 2016 at 7:27 PM stepharo <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok I'm wrong and stupid. > Thanks for the reminder. > I disabled QA in the Mooc images. > > > That’s the point.
