[Newbies] Monticello -- where is it?

[peppermint-patty]

Hi,

last year I was tutoring a university course starting with Squeak. There 
the students had to use Monticello and subversion too. I collected a few 
links and wrote some Tutorials by myself:

Here they are:

http://www.wiresong.ca/Monticello/
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/Squeak/Monticello
http://www.iam.unibe.ch/%7Educasse/Teaching/CoursAnnecy/0506-M1-OOP/

And my Tutorial is attached (right now I have no place to put it, sorry, 
but the file is not that large), but it is in written in german 
language. I don't now whether it is usefull for you or anybody except 
germans ;)

best regards,

Patty
