There are a scattering of primers and introductions to Squeak on-line,
many of which are pointed to at the Swiki (which itself is quite a
collection of data) and pointed to at www.squeak.org.
You might take a look at the Squeak Smalltalk Quick Reference for a
10,000 foot view, or if you can get a copy, the blue book. The Quick
Reference can be found at
