Can you link the tutorial?

Maybe including the tutorial in a QCMagritte image was not very obvious …

QCMagritte can be found on smalltalk hub ( http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~DiegoLont/QCMagritte/ ) and pharo CI ( https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/QCMagritte/ ).

So download a fresh pharo image, open it and perform the following:

Gofer new url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/DiegoLont/QCMagritte/main'; package: 'ConfigurationOfQCMagritte'; load.
((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfQCMagritte) project version: #'development') load: #( 'All' ).
(Smalltalk at: #ZnZincServerAdaptor) startOn: 8080

Doing this should give you a working QC Magritte tutorial hosted on your own pc. You can also download a pre build image from the pharo ci server.

When you have an running image with QCMagritte: start a browser on http://localhost:8080/ and the tutorial should pop up.

Then I want you to challenge you: try the QCMagritte tutorial. I took me 3 hours, including the time to make some improvements on the tutorial, and please tell me if you still believe it takes a ton of time to make something nice.
