Since Squeak is so unfamiliar to many people, I think it is not
useful to teach someone how to use the class libraries if they
do not know how to use the Squeak tools. I believe that teaching
both at once would be ideal; the interesting Morphic application
is the final outcome of the tutorial, and, in the process, one
learns how to use good squeak practices to create any
application.

That was my intent. I updated the document to reflect that. The
deliverable is now "to teach a new Squeaker how to effectively
use Squeak and to develop a Morphic application."
