The classic DMU basic tutorials are back!

Julian Lombardi wrote at his blog "something like":
"[DMU has a] step-by-step online tutorials on Croquet and Squeak programming.  
...
Many folks have told me that they can be quite useful and informative to those who wish to get started with Croquet. I know that there are a lot of readers of this blog who are programmers interested in getting their feet wet with the system. My advice to you is to walk through these tutorials as a way to begin exploring programming approaches in Croquet.
...
Some programmers will unoubtedly find the tutorials very useful. Thanks to [DMU] for providing the emerging community with this valuable resource."

Thanks. We are back now for the new beta version.
It's a step by step tutorials serie from the beginning. Talking about Squeak, Croquet and Blender. Yes! We will try to use Blender  for the creation of 3D models. And will talk something about the basics of Blender modeling.

Everything you need to know...

We will try to present a lesson everyday.

The first, about downloads and minimum requirements,  is available at:

If you have any doubt about the subject of a lesson, let us know here. Not by email, please. The answer can help everybody.

Great! The old version of the tutorials is not always suitable for
Croquet 1.0. I look forward to following your course.
I am learning by trial and error (many errors and stupid mistakes).
Though quite knowledgeable in IT, I had not been exposed to Squesk and
Croquet so far. I am documenting the few things I learn in this
notebook:

Not frustrated, because I know that an ambitious project like Croquet
is not achieved in a week. I had a moderate amount of bugs and crashes
so far. Crashes tend to happen when I launch two worlds on the same
machine and link them, which is perhaps overstretching the system -
but it is the only thing I can do to test some features.

However. Now I know how to create worlds, and what I really would like
to find out is:

- Is linking to a remote world via the internet (not on a local LAN)
*supposed* to work in the beta version?
- How to upload a world to a remote linux server to make it permanent.

A request for the tutorials: the explanations of the code in the PDF
manual in the SDK 1.0 beta are very useful, but there is almost no
description of the user interface, for example things like how to
access/edit the code of the examples, how to add a class/method etc.
Many of us who would like to use Croquet just do not have the time to
become familiar with Squeak before learning Croquet. I wish to learn
Squeak on the fly while learning Croquet. I am finding things out by
left-right-alt-ctl-clicking  everywhere on the screen until the system
does what I want it to do, but this takes time. The things I am
focusing on in my notebook correspond to the problems an absulute
beginenr like me encounters when trying to use the system.
