<P><FONT size=2>Hi all,<BR><BR>I know Morphic is the way of the future with
Squeak and good to see really. However, when I've downloaded various tutorials
on Morphic it is all very much direct manipulation and scripting. These are all
fun, but not exactly where I want to be heading.<BR><BR>I know I'm new to this
but it makes sense to me to work on the application away from the GUI and then
attach the GUI later. I know this is an MVC way of developing things but I'd
rather use Morphic (for a start there's a wider variety of Morphs). Do any
Morphic tutorials take the more traditional approach of developing the
application with the more traditional MVC approach or am I better off studying
MVC first and then following or breaking the rules in Morphic later?<BR><BR>The
only more traditional approach in a Morphic tutorial I've seen was a version of
the Counter tutorial. It was good but the application is so simple that I'm
having trouble applying the philosophy to a more sophisticated
project.<BR><BR>As an addition to this, am I likely to have all my dreams come
true if I buy "Squeak: Object-Oriented Design with Multimedia Applications" by
Mark Guzdial? Will it be the Morphic guide I am looking for?<BR></FONT><FONT
