I seem to be having a hard time finding any sort of smalltalk tutorial that doesn't assume I'm already a master programmer in some other language.
...That's not to say I haven't read, and executed examples from, a few of them. I've followed along with the laser game development guide by Stephan B Wessels (I can find a link if anyone wants it), I've read most of Squeak By Example and a few others, so I have explored enough for a basic understanding. My problem is that smalltalk is my first programing language, So I need to figure out how to break a problem down to something I can code out (I need to learn to "scratch-code" in a workspace).
Does anyone know where I can find such a guide, or even outline one for me to build as I learn?
On another note, I have tried to learn the "basics" of programing in other languages (most recently C++), but now that I've been exposed to smalltalk, it all seems cumbersome and scattered. I end up getting too frustrated with the need to reference some other part of the book so often, as well as the edit-compile-debug cycle.
