Ditto for me, too.  I can't quite remember where I started...I think
I began dissecting some of the simpler stuff like Tetris, and then
Celeste.  I learned a lot in a very short time, which really amazed me.
And this includes the classes that don't even have class comments!

It always amazes me how Squeak-- Smalltalk-- is so 'self educating'.  Heck,
the only Smalltalk book I have is the old Purple book, which I've only read
about half of...and I only recently acquired both the "white" book and the
"dark blue" book (which are all excellent reading, I must say).
