a great introduction to squeak is squeak by example. And best of all it's free!!!

Hi,
I am new in smalltalk and squeak. In this language what is the right way to learn smalltalk/squeak? I am reading a ebook of Ducasse "learn programming with robots" and it seems good for begin. Anyway, after this book I would like make something for manage networks and database; what resource may I use?
thanks.

Max,
Steph's book is a nice way to learn programming. I'm actually using his bots environment as part of a presentation I'm doing this coming Saturday at the Iowa Code Camp in Des Moines.
Steph has a great list of free Smalltalk books on his site. On that is a little dated but is an excellent read is known as the NuBlue book by Mark Guzdial:
http://www.amazon.com/Squeak-Open-Personal-Computing-Multimedia/dp/013028091...
You can actually review a draft of the chapters of that book from Steph's site. There is one chapter in particular by Bijian Parsia, Lex Spoon (of Programming Scala fame), and Bolot Kerimbaev:

Good luck
