A little expression interpreter for new forthcoming book

Hi Stef!

You have written a lot of material. This is great!

I had a look at the chapter about the interpreter.  Looks great!

Looks very promising. It is a great, much needed subject area. And a huge task as well.

I personally like chapter 7 as introduction, a lot, in terms of conceptual approach. If it were me, I would put it first (but the current intro reflects that already a bit, so I am not sure).

Also, personally I like to introduce syntax in a less complex/intimidating way, skipping some of the weird/special parts, those could go in a later 'advanced syntax' part, to stress how simple the basic/most used syntax actually is.

That are the only parts I read, up to now ...

Hi sven

for now I'm dumping what I have in my head. Once I will finish to "vomit"  
I will redo a full pass.

I do not know too :)

Yes you are right I will move syntax in an appendix.
And I should probably see what is the essential and have a basic intro to  
syntax.

I'm measuring how time it takes me and this is slow :(
I hope to get faster but I'm just slow. Took me two week evenings for  
expressions but it is really
a nice overview of OOP. I'm revising it based on questions of my son.

this chapter alone is really nice to present OOP and OOD and Pharo to  
people can start.
I'm adding some points to answer question raised by my son and it will be  
ready to rest.

Okay!
