Hi,<br>
<br>
I was in a similar situation years ago, but this was deeply with
Pharo (which started as a fork of Squeak in 2009). If you want
developer related documentation you could see: <br>

<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Offray<br>

There is a lot of language information, but not a “here’s what we
do” best practices for developers. I don’t mean coding, but I
mean, how to find the resource I need. How to build your project
in pieces that you can test, etc.
<br>
<br>
What I was looking for is an Apprentice kind of relationship, but
nobody seems interested or nearby.
<br>
<br>
Sincerely,
<br>
<br>
Joe.

think it is time for the Squeak balloon to be grounded to
connect with the reality of why computer languages exist - to
make things easy for application developers. So I propose all
Squeak developers stop "improving" Squeak for one year and spend
the time writing useful applications in Squeak. That could lead
to a basket of new ideas for next year. Maybe make this a
regularly scheduled event - a half year for applications and a
half year for Squeak?

Squeak-Dev member, I downloaded the latest all in one and to my
chagrin, I found an improvement that made Squeak as worthless as
a balloon full of machine gun holes. The Workspace window
gets halos with a right mouse click on a standard 2 button
laptop mouse. So I'll return to an older Squeak for now.
