Have a look at the video on my web page http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~ducasse/Videos/
I think that using Smalltalk you can really deeply understand OOP. I realized that lot of a my students which know java, still learn a lot when following my lectures on OOP. This is the sad aspect of OOP everybody can teach it (in a not so well way) or understand it. Now to deeply understand it, using the inspector, debugger of Smalltalk is great.
To learn Squeak I suggest you to pick a small project and do it and ask question.
I like Smalltalk by Example.

Hi,
First of all, is the book "Smalltalk by Example: the Developer's Guide" available from http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~ducasse/FreeBooks.html useful to learn Squeak. It look like this book is written with VisualWork, but I thought that it might be still useful in learning Smalltalk.
Second, can anyone suggest the right way to learn a Squeak? I have read a few online tutorials and one of the books (Squeak: Object-Oriented Design with Multmedia Application), but I do not feel comfortable with Squeak programming.
I have many years of OOP programming, mainly used C++/Java, so I do not need to learn the concept of OOP.
I will not be as sure as you. Every language have there own way off designing object especially Smalltalk who is type less.
But I let guru suggest you what to do.
