[Newbies] Misunderstanding Squeak

[Russ]

I found this book, now updated for Squeak, to be very helpful in explicating
the object paradigm of smalltalk.

http://www.amazon.com/Squeak-Quick-ObjectLand-Gene-Korienek/dp/0201731142/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207621370&sr=8-2

It might seem a wee bit juvenile ,but it was still pretty enlightening.
Everyone says that smalltalk (aka Squeak) is all about
objects sending messages to objects - for me , I find that a helpful notion.
