Testimonies

This Mooc is demanding but rewarding - check below what the participants are saying :) Thank you for these messages, they boost us!

I have just completed week seven of the Pharo Mooc (beginner and object oriented tracks) I am starting a redo of the Mooc with the web track (TinyBlog project). I have already learned so much ! I have spent the last 20 years or so in software development and, following this Mooc, I realized I hadn’t really grasped the essence of object oriented design. - Anonymous

« Really one of the best mooc I have ever attended. And I have attended quite a few (openSAP, openHPI). As an old fashioned ABAP developer I want to be reborn as Pharo developer in my next life :-) » - Anonymous

Hi! I finished the MOOC some weeks ago and I would like to congratulate everybody involved! After a decade+ of Python programming I think I found my new favorite language :). I'm making a small Teapot server for Slack command bots, I'm goona push it to Github (yay Iceberg), if anyone is interested. - EduardoPadoan

I just completed the @pharoproject Mooc the best investment I have ever made of my time. MAQBOOL

Hey all - I've just finished the Mooc - thanks for an excellent course and a thouroughly interesting look at a new way to program :smile: Looking forward to starting to play with Pharo on some upcoming ideas I've had. - Tieryn

As much as I thought I understand object-orientation, it is very clear NOW that without a truly useable Smalltalk, which Pharo is, it is impossible to really understand and exercise object-orientation. Thank you all soooo much. - Mike D. 06/12/2020

I finished the Pharo MOOC a few days ago. Thank you very much to Damien, Stephane, and Luc for their work on the material! I enjoyed it very much - Anonymous

I already had previous Smalltalk experience, but yes, I'm extremely happy Chapter 7 has been extremely fulfilling - Anonymous

A general comment I wanted to make is that the MOOC so far has been great. Impressed with the quality and content, and grateful that it is available and free. Many thanks! - Aryeh

IMHO the videos were very well done. I would even say shockingly well done… for a bunch of programmers who are supposed to be clueless about design - SeanDeNigris - 10/26/2017

The more I learning about @pharoproject the more I appreciate it's beauty and simplicity, finally, object-oriented programming is done right - MAQBOOL

Mooc absolument remarquable. Superbe voyage autour de Pharo. Le paradigme objet qui (re)prend enfin du sens ! - Anonymous - 01/03/2019
