Hi Euan Worthwhile to refer to in your tutorial is as well the web version of the ProfStef Smalltalk tutorial implemented in Amber Smalltalk
http://amber-smalltalk.github.io/trysmalltalk/ (https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/trysmalltalk) It explains the syntax, control constructs and some basic classes. It was first implemented in Pharo and then ported. --Hannes On 11/17/15, Juan Vuletich <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi EuanM, > > This is a great initiative.
