Etoy tutorials on Squeakland and documentation in general

Folks,

  I'd like to go through the Etoy tutorials on Squeakland to
familiarize myself about them but mostly also to be able to show them
to our children as I find that Squeak is a very nice approach to
programming concepts.

  Thing is, what do I do with a .pr file ?  Such as
NewPaint_05.014.pr.  Do I simply file it in ?  Do I view it in Firefox
using a plugin ?

  This brings a related matter: documentation.  Not tutorials, but
complete documentation.  I have the Guzdial book on Squeak (the white
one) and it shows a lot of things, but is there an official
documentation that is not made of snippets of info but is a reference
to Smalltalk using Squeak ?

Cheers,
Al

Ianas,

If you have a .pr file, you can load it into Squeak by starting Squeak,
left-clicking (depends on your OS) somewhere on the background, that should
show a "World Menu". In the menu click on "load project from file". That
should load and open the project.

As far as I can say, you cannot simply "open" the .pr file in a browser, it
has to have a "surrounding" HTML  with an object tag. There are lots of links
on Squekland.org.

I think you are asking about eToys documentation specifically - I do not know
about that, but there is a book named

"Squeak: Powerful Ideas in the Classroom"

It has eToys projects in it, you can get it on Amazon or directly from
Squeakland.

A book I like a lot is 'Squeak programmation' by Xavier Briffault and
Stephane Ducasse (only in French). This might be pretty close to what you
are looking for.

Einen Buch dass ist in Französich geschrieben ist ganz klar bei mir
parce que cela s'adonne que je comprends trés bien le francais !

So I have found excerpts at Eyrolles:

http://www.eyrolles.com/Accueil/Livre/9782212110234/livre-squeak-programmation.php

But it doesn't seem to be available in America (Canada specifically).
Browsing quickly the sample chapters, the book looks quite interesting.

Tschüss,
Alain

Bonjour Alain tu peux sûrement le commander dans une librairie, je
l'ai acheté à la librairie de l'université du Québec à Montréal lorsqu'il
a été publié.

Effectivement c'est un très bon livre de Stéphane et Xavier

Salut
