[Q] How to learn squeak

Dear Squeakers

I am a newbie who wants to create educational material using squeak.
(I am an experienced Java programmer)

I downloaded SqueakLand and played with it. I found that it came with
many seemingly useful tools, but could not find (or locate) enough
documentations explaining all of these tools.

Can anyone point me where I can start learning Squeak?
(I was trying to find to search the mailing list, but couldn't find
how to do it.)

Thanks in advance.

I am also working on this topic, for programmed educational material
with Squeak.

Did you take a look at the tutorials at http://www.squeakland.org ?
If you speak French I can point you to hundred of tutorials material.

Are you looking at using the EToys part of Squeak, or also the Smalltalk
language part.
For the later, some video examples of what can be done when programming
educational material, it is for primary school

Hi -

What kind of educational material are you interested in making?

Squeakland is set up for children who are 8-12 years old.

There are tutuorials, examples, etc.

Take a look at http://www.squeakland.org/pdf/etoys_n_learning.pdf for
a white paper about the educational approach.

Take a look at http://www.squeakland.org/pdf/etoys_n_authoring.pdf 
for a white paper about the media approach

There is a book for teachers at
http://www.squeakland.org/sqmedia/books/kimbjbook.html

http://www.squeak.org is the main site for Squeak for adult computer
folks. You will find quite a bit of stuff there.

Best wishes,

Alan
