First, I would like to thank you for the interest you show for my book.

I'm not sure I know a lot about Smalltalk as I discovered it two years 
ago for the first time.

Lukas Renggli wrote a tutorial, exercices and slides.

I'm writing this book for persons who know nothing about Seaside. 
Smalltalk knowledge is not necessary too because a chapter will be 
written on this at the end of the book.

I do not know the difference between the two sentences and I know I need 
people to read me and correct me. That was part of what I asked in my 
previous mail. But I do not need such kind of person currently because 
what I wrote is highly subject to change and I do not want people to 
loose their time.

It's very nice, thank you very much. Take care, I will really ask you 
when I need someone to correct what I wrote :-)
