Hi,
instead of using the trivial 2 + 2 as ST example, for many years I have
found more impressive: 5 factorial printString size and then to show
factorial method, that is very easy to understand.
IMHO it is STs essence of innovation and power.

how nice!
yes is a great intro to change lanes a bit more than learn anything.
But that sparks stronger curiosity on experimenting
After a intro like that, having a hackathon to actually do something would be
ideal
Most people just want to build stuff that can do the cool tricks
It's almost
Hi Sebastian,
Noel is actually my academic older brother (i.e., we had the same doctoral
advisor). Noel's introduction is nice but it is to people who know how to
program (specifically, Ruby programmers). That's useful. The Pharo books
and YouTube videos do this very well. But, you also need to
you mean 1000 factorial / factorial.
