Hi Steve, Did you give a look at the "Smalltalk by Example" and "Smalltalk with style" ? There are good starters to get an overall idea of the basic objects and how is written Smalltalk code. It could help to jump in Pharo then.
There are very easy reading, the advanced parts may not apply to Pharo though, but you can then jump to specific Pharo books. http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html Hilaire Le 18/12/2019 à 09:11, Steve Davies a écrit : > I'm a career programmer but I'm nearly 60 and sadly I can't absorb > information like I used to be able to, and I'm just finding Pharo so > overwhelming - I feel like a maintenance programmer trying to find a > way into a million lines of code when you don't understand the > principles of organisation and the conventions of the developers. > > Is there no way to have some sort of "progressive revelation" of the > insides of Pharo?
