Speaking of which, one of my readers said he tried out Pharo recently and found the documentation wanting. He was expecting a Getting Started guide at the pharo.org website and couldn't find one. So he had to blunder around a bit.
I told him he could've looked at "Chapter 2: A quick tour of Pharo" in the *Pharo by Example 5* book, but he's right. There ought to be something obvious at the pharo.org website that helps a newbie get Pharo up and running, understand how to basically use the Pharo IDE, and write the standard "Hello World" program. I checked out squeak.org and found the same documentation issue! Why is this??? Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas-2 wrote > Documentation is going well.
