you can have a look at the videos: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~ducasse/Resources.html
If you have ideas of things that you would like to know that you do not know yet :), please tell me I want to produce new videos.

Hi,
I'm trying to get familiar with Squeak. I used Smalltalk/V way back, have and read and understand the Smalltalk 80 book, so it's not completely new to me....
But Squeak is so much bigger. I'm really struggling to get an overall sense of the beast - I can't see the wood for the trees and for me, at least, the environment seems to contribute to that because of the method-by-method interface to the code seems to make it harder to get the big picture. Methods are presented in alphabetical order, without much clue as to how they relate. Similarly for classes.
Are there any pointers/suggestions? I feel like I'm missing some tool I don't know about. It's great that you can see everything, but understanding for me would be aided with some sort of "gradual revelation"; a way to replace all the details of a class or bunch of classes with conceptual documentation - showing in a screen or two the overall story of that class's purpose and place in the system. And a way to dip under that to the implementation as needed.
Any comments or suggestions for me?
Thanks, Steve Davies
