I personally had a hard time "getting" the smalltalk syntax, until I realized how much more simplistic it was than other language syntaxes. now that I understand what is going on, I like it much more than any other languages syntax.
I would recommend reading the free online book Squeak by Example. http://squeakbyexample.org/
I found that this book explained what I needed to know about smalltalk to make me realize all of its advantages.

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a visual implementation of Squeak. i.e, a drag and drop system of control blocks to write your code so that you do not have to type your code. I find the Squeak syntax really hard to master.
Thanks, Karen
