Dear Squeakers,
welcome to the The Weekly Squeak Summary, an irregular traffic-dependent report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the Weekly Squeak blog.
Highlights of the past weeks:
Squeak's documentation base has seen two significant improvements. There now is a detailed tutorial [1] focused on the development of a little game. The tutorial covers many aspects from Squeak installation over unit testing to version management with Monticello. The second important improvement is the book "Squeak by Example" [15] that covers the entire Squeak system. The book is available for free as a PDF download, but can also be purchased in print for very little money.
Who says Squeak isn't usable in production? Qwaq and Intel are collaborating [18]!
The OLPC initiative's XO laptops are going into production [4], and there finally was some credible and balanced coverage of the project in German television [9]. More smashing news is upcoming but not yet ready for being posted in the Weekly Squeak Summary... ;-)
