I haven't gotten the hang of Smalltalk AT ALL yet, but that's not going to keep me from reading this list, getting all the goodies and updates and following links to more information. Someday, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it, and be grateful for "hanging in there." - Regardless, I know I'm not really such an idiot either, even though I strongly feel that Squeak is very powerful, easy to use (for the rest of you, obviously) and innovative.
The way I learned was by finding a simple morphic demo or program, change a few parameters, open the morph and see what had happened... Do this over and over again until you know what to change to get what you want. Then expand by cutting and pasting in code from other places, testing and debugging a few thousen times you will suddenly just know how to do it the next time.
I allways browse with optinal buttons on and use the senders of and implementors of all the time to see how stuff is used elsewere in the image.
