How about a tutorial on Squeak from within Squeak on online on the web? A piece of static media like a book seems inappropriate for a such a dynamic system, doesn't it?
It would be nice - I'm all for such a system, particularly context-aware examples. I do think that it is a perfect match for such a system, and is closest to a live-in tutor if it's designed well. However, I still think there is a place for a pile of well-painted dead trees. I can't take (well, most people can't) a squeak-capable box with them in a cab, to lunch, etc. Too, I can't get people who don't already have squeak to try a tutorial in squeak.
[Ed. note: Just saw the Squeak Pages for the first time. It's so easy to miss such great resources! ]
The system is dynamic, but some parts of it don't change (as quickly) and they're the parts that make up the necessary bootstrap. They could tolerate being put in a book that had pointers to the moving-target information that wouldn't survive press.
FWIW, there was a time when I would have walked over bodies to get a few pages of overview/tutorial in theory of morphic (which I eventually discovered).
Squeak Pearls? BTW, I'm thinking of setting up (when I get my copy of WebObjects, someday. . . ) a code-sample database. Ideally, with examples in multiple languages linked to each other. Is any such beast extant?
