    Do not be frustrated by parts of Pharo that you do not immediately understand. You do not have to know everything! Alan Knight expresses this as follows:

    Try not to care. Beginning Smalltalk programmers often have trouble because they think they need to understand all the details of how a thing works before they can use it. This means it takes quite a while before they can master Transcript show: ’Hello World’. One of the great leaps in OO is to be able to answer the question “How does this work?” with ”I don’t care”.

    When you don’t understand something, simple or complex, do not hesitate for a second to ask us at our mailing lists (pharo-users@lists.pharo.org or pharo-dev@lists.pharo.org), irc and Slack. We love questions and we welcome people of any skill.
