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 .
Not for the first class :)
An IDE that tells me what I do wrong ? Are you serious ? It would have
been sci fiction in 1988.
:) but now there is eclipse.
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 ?
WE MUST MAKE IT STABLE BY THEN!
We should release often and stable.
And Pharo 50 should be. Because after we have Pharo 6.0 and I want
Xtreams and Bloc
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 :)

Thanks for the reminder.
I disabled QA in the Mooc images.
