I am a beginner with Squeak and the problem I am facing is not knowing how to
go about using the tools available.
There is a lot of language information, but not a “here’s what we do” best
practices for developers. I don’t mean coding, but I mean, how to find the
resource I need. How to build your project in pieces that you can test, etc.
What I was looking for is an Apprentice kind of relationship, but nobody seems
interested or nearby.
Sincerely,
Joe.
