I have been exploring the squeak environment and smalltalk syntax for a few weeks now. Usually when learning a new programming language I create a small programs such as a contacts list. First I may do it with a console front end then play around with a GUI and widgets. <BR><BR>I have got to the stage with squeak where I want to do that but I can't see how to proceed. For a console type program how do I proceed and for a GUI program what is the main form/frame/window to hold the components. So the main thing I'm stuck with is the user interface, I have read enough to know how to create classes and their method bodies (though my code may be bad at this stage :-) ). <BR>Any advice would be most welcome, I can't wait to get stuck in!<BR><BR>Darren<BR><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Beginners mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org">Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners">http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners</A></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>| Giuseppe Luigi Punzi Ruiz |</DIV><DIV><A href="mailto:glpunzi@zyoconsulting.com">glpunzi@zyoconsulting.com</A></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
