Hello William,
there is a book named "Learn programming with robots" which
is aimed at
teaching programming with Squeak.
The book can be obtained via Amazon and google turned up
this page for
download.
https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/10764/BotsInc-OriginalEnglish.pdf
Then there is Squeak by example which is meant to teach
Squeak but
assumes some programming experience.
In both cases find the accompanying Squeak images. This is
because
Squeak evolves and for newcomers it's important that the
examples just
work. Although finding out why an example did not work is a
great
learning achievement people are usually good at providing
enough not
working examples for themselves. :-)
The site Casey recommended is a great resource, it can be
found here.
http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html
But you have to be a bit careful because of the differences
in Smalltalk
dialects. Which means not every example will work unmodified
in a
current Squeak image.
Other than that there are Etoys and Scratch which are based
on Squeak
but provide a graphical introduction (tile programming) into
programming.
And finding an answer to Casey's question, a project that
interests you,
may get you some more results.
Cheers,
Herbert

Hello,
If I have never programmed before
but want to learn to program with
Squeak, which tutorial should I
read?
Thank you,
Will

As far as I can tell, messages have to be directed at a
single recipient. Is this the case or, for example, is it
possible to blast a message to every member of an Array at
the same time?

Hi David,
short answer:
anArray do: [:each| each message].
One of the things to learn about Smalltalk is it's rich
collection protocol.
The fact that I use do: might hint that I should reread the
protocol of
collections, there maybe something more elegant :-))
Cheers

I think I heard about something like what you seem to want a
bit ago called
Announcements. Objects can "sign up" to be notified of a
particular event.
I dug up a wiki page about it.

Hope this helps,
Casey
