Hello,
I like Pharo a lot but I hit a wall very often.
With complex problems I do not see how to solve
things in small steps.
I would be happy to help with the Smalltalk and
problem analysis aspects. Unfortunately, I don't
use Pharo much, so I cannot help with it.
Is there somewhere who is willing to mentor me in
how I can overcome
that problem.

Pity,
but if you could help me to learn how to divide a complex
problem in smaller steps , then I think I can make it work
in Pharo. My problem is more that then how to do it in
Pharo.
Do you then use gemtalk a lot.
Pity that I cannot make exercism challenges on that.
And AdventOfCode do seem to difficult for a beginner.
Yes, I can help with those areas. I've been programming
professionally and virtually exclusively in Smalltalk since
1991.
I've been using GemStone/S since 2009 and now work for
the manufacturer. I've been working with VA Smalltalk and
its predecessors since 1994 and with VisualWorks since 2009.
I hear you about using GemStone/S. For most of its life,
the assumption was that you would use a client Smalltalk
like VA Smalltalk or VisualWorks to do your development
work. Although, recently we've been working on Jadeite (
https://github.com/GemTalk/Jadeite)
to provide a development environment independent of GBS
(which is what we used to connect VA Smalltalk and
VisualWorks to GemStone/S).

Oke, I have heard of it but because I could not find a course or
book about gemstone and found a mooc about Pharo I choose that one.
But is there then much difference between Pharo and Gemstone or can
I make a solution to a problem and use the same code for both.
For me programming is a hobby. In the Netherlands most companies use
c# and with 53 and no XP I do not think its wise to think I find a
job as developer.
