Does the original Squeak By Example image file still exist anywhere? I swear I found it once and can't again. It may have been named SBE.image or something similar. For some reason, I thought this was intended to be used with v4 of Squeak, but according to the book it is for v3.9.

The link provided within the pdf: SqueakByExample.org goes somewhere very weird. The SBE github page https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/SqueakByExample-english makes note that the link is futzed.
There used to be stack VM's at http://www.squeakvm.org/ but the site is not responding.

Actually, I found it just last night. I was reading through the book when I noticed a screenshot had the name of the image and it was different than I was looking for. Searching for SqueakByExample- 1.3.zip got a hit! So now I have it.
Thanks for searching also.

Thanks for the pointer to the pdf file, as noted the website seems to have been pirated. That's one of the useful info sources I remember from some years ago and was vainly searching for the other day. As for version 3 Squeak someone mentioned, I see that there is a squeak-vm package in Ubuntu that as of today installed version 3 of squeak. Useful for that 'squeak and robots' pdf I was working through the last few days. Installing the Squeak executable on Linux was proving difficult here before discovering that package!

Hi Chris,
I started with Squeak/Smalltalk about 3 months ago.
You need to see absolutely the Squeak Swiki: https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak
In the Wiki there is a lot of info and it is not trivial to search stuff. I found that a good strategy is to look daily at "Changes" made by other people. Just press "Changes" button on the top of the web page. In this way you are more confident you are reading pages with updated info.
I made my own page on the Swiki, there I collect pointers to tutorials and articles as soon as I make them. Here it is: https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6624
The most important book to start with is "Squeak by Examples", you should easily find the pdf. A good book on Smalltalk (for programmers) is "Smalltalk by example" Alec Sharp.
bye Nicola

I have a Squeak 3.0 for i686-pc linux I can make available via FTP if the VM link does not come online.
