May be the class name could be changed a little bit to allow more flexibility using the Pharo Quick Start as a base. Something like "Greeter" and "Greeter new say: 'Hello world!'" or "Greeter new sayIt" could be implemented from there. Nice to see more and more documentation around Pharo, including this one.
That being said, I have always felt that hello world is kind of a strange introduction to programming: http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/dumb-hello-world Cheers, Offray On 07/12/17 15:31, horrido wrote: > I've revised the draft slightly for the comments given here: > https://medium.com/@richardeng/pharo-quick-start-5bab70944ce2 > > Yes, it's a definite improvement.

I think a name like #sayIt (for example) and invocation like "Hello >> new sayIt" would make it explicit. >> >> This will be a great help for people who drop by out of curiosity. >> >> >> On Thu, Dec 7, 2017 at 11:38 AM, horrido < >> horrido.hobbies@ >> > wrote: >> >>> I've completed the first draft of my Pharo Quick Start guide >>> <https://medium.com/@richardeng/pharo-quick-start-5bab70944ce2> . >>> I >>> decided >>> to forge ahead anyway. >>> >>> Feedback welcome. >>> >>> Note that I chose wget instead of curl because many Linux distros do not >>> have curl installed. >>> >>> I've tested the guide for various Linux distros including Mint 18.3 >>> (Ubuntu-based), Debian 9.2.1, Manjaro 17.0.6 (Arch-based), Solus 3, and >>> Fedora 27.
