you can read the book here https://www.gitbook.io/book/kilon/pbe
main repo is here https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample Sure exercises are always a good idea. We use pillar syntax which is quite simple, drop off to irc chat #Pharo at freenode to discuss the detail though most things are already well documented about the process of contributing to the book. I have ported so far 4 chapter and I am in chapter 5 , Damien has port one chapter and Stephan partly ported another so we around 50% of the book.
