Well, that's correct :-)
Squeak by Example may be a good point to start, but I would not start myself by reading a book.
Do we have some interactive tutorial stuff? Something like https://amber-lang.net/learn.html, just for Squeak and much larger.
It is good that Nicola makes some YouTube content for Squeak, we could really need more of this stuff.

Ouch, this is indeed ugly. Maybe MenuMorph should be a ScrollPane?

Best,

I come from a generation that never consults an owner manual for an application until physical coercion is applied :) Intuitivity first, always, ever, of course! That's the way I learned Squeak until now, so we are not on a bad path

Don't forget that you probably received the initial live introduction lecture at HPI ;-)
