I found the documentation which came with Cincom Smalltalk to be invaluable in
getting over the 'hump'. In particular the daily 'screencasts' by James
Robertson. Like much information about software written by seasoned experts
there are a number of places where he forgets that what comes naturally and
without any conscious thought to him is, for a brand new learner, a vital
fact. But that is a fact of life when trying to learn any complex software
system.

I don't know if anything similar based around squeak even exists.
