It seems like there are enough people interested that it might be worthwhile sharing resources (e.g., Ozono). At minimum, these can act as inspiration for others doing the same thing. Is there a good Pharo way of doing that? For instance, is there a wiki we could use? I'm sure we could just add thi

I also teach Pharo in an advanced lecture on software engineering. Students are familiar with Java already. I usually ask the students to implement the Mine game from Pharo by Example. I also ask them to read the 9 nine chapters. I then ask them to work on Moose by realizing some code assessment

Hi, I'm teaching Pharo to students that are already familiar with Java (master level). I take full Pharo and they are quite disturbed by both the syntax and the disconnection with files. That was my goal actually to make them discover a totally different universe. Some end up loving it, and eve

I also teach OOP using Pharo for undergraduate students (bachelor level). I don't customize Pharo, it's nice and enjoyable as it is. My first and very simple exercices require object inspector to observe effects due to direct messages sent to objects. Thus, object inspector permits me to explain

We also teach using Pharo here in Argentina. We also have created a simplified enviroment for beginner programmers called Ozono (formerly Loop). I think it would be nice to share our teaching experiences! I've been teaching introductory programming in Pharo for the last three semesters and start
