Re: Learn Pharo - Not Working

On a Win 10 Lenovo laptop with a trackpad with no mouse buttons, the 64-bit version took several clicks on ‘ProfStef go’ to register. I suspect it might be the trackpad which isn’t sending mouse messages correctly because I also have problems with other apps.

Hi,

It would also be quite surprising if this depended on the 32/64 bits difference.

In any case it works for me (macOS 64 bit): it opens a window titled 'Welcome (1/29)' containing step one of the tutorial:

===
"Hello! I'm Professor Stef.

You must want me to help you learn Pharo.

So let's go to the first lesson. Select the text below, right-click and choose 'Do it'"

ProfStef next.

You are on Windows, are there any other Windows users that can confirm this either way ?

On Win 10 and this works for me in both 32-bit and 64-bit Pharo 7.0.1 (build: 146, commit: c48755a)

Thanks, everyone. I think I owe you all an apology. I just tried the 64-bit
version again and it worked perfectly.

If you hare learning and having fun, thats good with me.

The instructions just say, "You can learn Pharo by clicking on the following
expression:". I didn't expect a new window to open; I had just finished a
different Pharo course in which everything stayed in the same window. You'd
think I would see a new window opening anyway, but I'm wondering if it might
have been hidden behind the main window.

Its exactly this sort of little niggle that adepts just fly by without noticing.

Fresh eyes are really important.

I just discovered the window tabs
at the bottom as well, which would have helped if I'd thought to look there.

Hope I didn't cause anyone a lot of frustration.

In a way, I am glad I posed the question, because I have learned a lot in
the ensuing discussion. I'll respond to a couple of the new replies, but
thank you, everyone, very, very much.

How would you feel about stretching that learning to submit a PR

updating that text to indicate a window will open?

cheers -ben

Warren

Sorry, Ben, you lost me. What's a PR? Updated what text? Can you please give
me an explanation an idiot (me) can understand?

Thanks,
Keith
