Yes, I've been through those tutorials, and they're good, (though not sure why the extremely advanced Kedama tutorial is placed first) but they're only enough to whet one's appetite. Surely the paint/handles/car tutorials should be the first of 20 or 30 tutorials, graded by difficulty/chapter, with Kedema being the 'Final Boss' tutorial?
And where are the 'eToy a week' projects Alan talks about? I'd like to have a butcher's at those!
There is an Etoys link on the website site map, to here, http://www.squeakland.org/kids/sqfest_2004.htm There are a few dozen, but it does not seem to be updated with new contributions.
Build your own Etoys with the project guides http://www.squeakland.org/sqmedia/projects/etoyposters.htm
There are only three Etoys of the month, here: http://www.squeakland.org/fun_projects/proj_pe_mo/feature_project.htm http://www.squeakland.org/fun_projects/proj_pe_mo/past_project.htm
If you want more Etoys and Projects, download them from _inside_ Squeak. Go to the Navigator flap, click Find, and then click "Squeakland-Projects" This is a largely different set to those on the website, but you will find an Etoy template and several versions of the toys from the tutorials in there.
I am sure someone will fix this in the website redesign.
