Hello All,
To begin with, if this is not the correct list to post to for these kind of questions please direct me to the correct list. With that out of the way, on to my questions and comments.
I have recently (within the last few days) discovered SmallTalk and Squeak in general. Oh, I have heard about SmallTalk in the past and even Squeak but I never picked it up for a number of reasons. In any case, I have been looking for a good productive cross platform language that has excellent support of a GUI interface. These criteria made finally me stop and look at both SmallTalk and Squeak in particular. I am glad I did. After reading some of the docs and playing around with the environment I already like it allot. In fact the code browser reminds me a whole lot of VisualAge for Java, one of my favorite IDEs. Of course, Now I found out that why VisualAge for Java resembles Squeak and other SmallTalk environments, I assume lol.
Ok so now I am all hyped up ready to write some code and get a feel for the environment, particularly Morphic which is what drew me here in the first place. Alas this is where I fall flat on my face. There are a few very simple tutorials out there, but there doesn't seem to be any comprehensive in depth material. In fact, I can't even find any class descriptions. I've tried looking at the source, but at this point, thats not real helpful.
Is there some information out there I am missing? How do you go about learning this thing from scratch. Maybe I have just been spoiled by the amount of documentation out there for Java and C++, but it still seams to me that there must be some method for learning this thing, otherwise there would be know one using it.
So if you guys have suggestions I would love to hear them.
Thanks, Eric
