Squeak books

dsilva
I purchased two Squeak books a couple of years ago and then got side tracked.

The titles of the books are:

SQUEAK, Learn Programming with Robots.
    AND
SQUEAK, A QUICK TRIP TO OBJECTLAND.
    This last book contains Squeak Version 3.0 on a CD ROM.


Does anyone know if the above books are valid with the current version of Squeak?

Your time and efforts are appreciated.
Dick Silva.

I don't know how current it is, but I didn't like "A Quick Trip To ObjectLand" much. "Squeak by Example" is a much better book. You can purchase a printed copy from lulu.com or read it for free on line. It was well worth the cost of a printed copy for me!

Learn programming with Robots is best used with the image that matches the book.

It really depends on a special bot environment.

The skills you learn are applicable to Squeak.

Haven't read the Squeak version of Objectland.
