[ANN] New open-source book -- Squeak by Example

Marcus Denker
Squeak by Example is a new, open-source book written by Andrew P.  
Black, Stephane Ducasse, Oscar Nierstrasz and Damien Pollet, with  
contributions by Damien Cassou and Marcus Denker. Squeak is a modern  
open-source development environment for the classic Smalltalk-80  
programming language.  The book is intended for both students and  
developers.  It will guide you through the Squeak language and  
environment by means of a series of examples and exercises.

You can either download the PDF for free, or you can buy a print-on-
demand softcover copy. The LaTeX sources are also freely available  
under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license.

More details about Squeak by Example are available at http://

Aaron Reichow
Markus, et al,

Congrats! Hopefully a project like this can be kept-alive by the open  
content license you've given it- similar books have not been as  
useful for our newer users as they might have been, over sometimes  
relatively minor changes to the way Squeak looks and works. While I  
might be the kind of person who learnt (and would rather learn)  
Squeak by dinking around in the browser, there are 20 other people  
that would rather have some straight-up examples like this to work  
through.


Regards,
Aaron
