How to follow this MOOC?

• Total newbies 🐥 [Newbies] Focus on the beginning of the lectures, you can skip the Seaside/Mongo and tinyBlog exercises. Follow the end of the Mooc but without trying to understand everything. Take it easy and spend time understanding that the system is written in itself. Focus on the navigation tools (senders and implementors).
  New in this 3rd session : we built an optional sequence named Presequel to introduce Oriented Object Programming.
• Looking for Web 🌐 [Web] For those that focus on web development, we suggest to get started with the syntax (since we really love this lecture you should really watch the not implementation and sequels), then look at Teapot and Seaside/Mongo combo. From the exercise stand point, focus on tinychat and tinyblog.
• Refresh your OO perspective 🎁 [OO] If you want to rethink your OO perspective, pay attention that even Pharo essential libraries such as Booleans or collections are plain objects. Yes you send a message to a collection to perform a loop. Yes you send a message to a Boolean to perform a conditional.
• Wanna be a Pharo expert 🌶 [Xpert] Well it means that you should have a look at everything and that you may drop the web part if you are in a hurry.
• Looking for Black Magic 🔮 [Magic] If you are interested by really advanced notions close to black magic ;-) It explains things such as reflection, meta-classes, meta-programming, etc... that makes Pharo a unique OO language. Of course, you must already know OO and be a Pharo expert.
