I would like to see the tutorial stretch the legs of the language (like the 
recipies I showed) and then end up with some application to show for it.  
But I would not want to have the first tutorial get extremely deep in 
Morphic or Seaside.  I think both topics are rich enough for their own 
documentation.

But if I had to pick between the two, my money is on seaside.  I think there 
is something too what Paul Graham (sp) said about the future and web based 
software (can anyone thing of any morphic apps out there with users?  I can 
already think of several seaside apps).

But like I say, just going through the tools, the language and advanced 
features of the language is going to be a mouthful.  Keep in mind; the 
environment that just comes with Squeak for free is what Java, C++, .et al 
go shopping for (sometimes for quite some time) and don't wind up with 
something as powerful.  That's worth spending a little time on.
