You mentioned that you know how to program so in a couple of days you should get up to speed. Our data is that 3rd students takes two weeks and I know people that did the mooc in speed run in two days. I would follow the mooc. You will get much faster and there is an image 32 that is in sync with the mooc version. The mooc is of excellent quality because we put 10 years of teaching experience in it. We are working on a mooc version with Pharo by Example 80. We are about to release 70 new videos of scenarios around Pharo 80. Just verifying the titles of such slides and videos take time. Then you can read in diagonal Pharo by Example (I hope to get some time to update chapter 3 this week-end). After I would read in diagonal some chapters there and there and ask questions. I think that in a couple of days you should get up to start developing a small app. You do not need to know everything. In PBE8 there are two new chapters on Pharo and git. To get started. Deep into Pharo is not really needed. This is more extra knowledge and I’m currently updating some chapters for P8. I extracted the Zinc HTTP chapters, but you can develop seaside without caring about http. To get started you need to know how to define a class and a method. S.
