...That's not to say I haven't read, and executed examples from, a few of<br>
them. I've followed along with the laser game development guide by Stephan B<br>
Wessels (I can find a link if anyone wants it), I've read most of Squeak By<br>
Example and a few others, so I have explored enough for a basic<br>
understanding. My problem is that smalltalk is my first programing language,<br>
So I need to figure out how to break a problem down to something I can code<br>
out (I need to learn to "scratch-code" in a workspace).<br>
<br>
Does anyone know where I can find such a guide, or even outline one for me<br>
to build as I learn?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Have you looked at</div><div>- <a href="http://www.pharocasts.com/" target="_blank">http://www.pharocasts.com/</a> , more specifically <a href="http://www.pharocasts.com/search/label/getting%20started">http://www.pharocasts.com/search/label/getting%20started</a></div>

On another note, I have tried to learn the "basics" of programing in other<br>
languages (most recently C++), but now that I've been exposed to smalltalk,<br>
it all seems cumbersome and scattered. I end up getting too frustrated with<br>
the need to reference some other part of the book so often, as well as the<br>
edit-compile-debug cycle.<br>
