Learning resources

I'm turning some of my attention to figuring out what is going to go into a 'Learn' section for the redline website.

More seriously though, I'm a big fan of the "koans" approach: small
test suites where each test case was made to teach you an aspect of
the language while you're fixing it. Someone wrote a suite[2] for GNU
Smalltalk that I guess should be straightforward to port. The original
ones[3] in Ruby may also be interesting.

Cheers,

I had found this resource helpful to disambiguate a few things, but I
am not sure if it's really a good starting point, or if it's better to
start with a book or tutorial.

Whaaat - you can't read Smalltalk but you can C++.
Gosh.

I plan on porting GNU Smalltalk Koans over to Redline Smalltalk.  Any feedback on the existing koans would be helpful.

Awesome. I had forgotten you expressed an interest in doing that.
