MOOC for English learners

Hello,

after being interested in Pharo some months ago, in the meantime I was
exploring some alternatives like Racket and Red (open-sources successor
of Rebol) both of which can be suitable for writing multi-platform
desktop GUI apps...but now want to spend some more time exploring Pharo
and I'm glad to see existance of MOOC course, but wonder if all the
videos are planned to be annotated with English subtitles making the
whole course suitable for non-French self-learners?

Sincerely,
Gour

Hi Gour,

All videos have English subtitles available. See at [1] and follow the
"videos" link, where you'll find the English subtitles. Is a superb
course and it clarified a lot for me and made curious about other stuff.

It looks so and makes me enthusiastic to dive into Pharo. :-)

License wise, you're enabled to download it and verbatim reuse it for
non-commercial purposes. I see that all the links are http, so I don't
know if ftp is enabled. Anyway you could use wget and alike to setup a
tasks that follows the links in the page and download the videos and
subtitles.

I did not know the videos were online. This is really great!

Now the only thing missing is adding to the weekly itemized list the link to the exact videos+subtitle files, instead of just a videos list. This will help the confused students a lot :-)

Do not hesitate to ask any questions you want.

We are also checking why the web portal of the mooc does not show the
option to get access to english

subtitle.

We are also working on a new graphic kernel and I hope that it will be
cooler than the one of Red :).

Re: MOOC for English learners

New graphic kernel, not Athens or Bloc? Is it the Morphic replacement or something else? Very curious.

Hi Travis

Brick new widget library

Bloc new graphic library

Athens/Sparta = API to talk to cairo / Moz2d

On youtube you can find old videos of old bloc versions.
Our goal is to replace Morphic.

Stef

New graphic kernel, not Athens or Bloc? Is it the Morphic replacement or something else? Very curious.
