[quote] GNU Smalltalk The Smalltalk for those who can type [/quote] The above quote is what attracted me to Smalltalk in the first place. I've never done OOP, and I've shunned IDEs in the past. Emacs, JOE or VIM have been *my* programming environments. So when I looked at Squeak, Squeak/Pharo, etc it was "information overload" right from the onset. Need to learn an IDE well to navigate & code; need to learn OOP mindset; need to learn Smalltalk syntax; etc.
I want to learn and code Smalltalk "longhand" to begin with, rather than point-n-click fashion. I read "Computer Programming using GNU Smalltalk" by Canol G?el to begin with. Bombed out on the "stdin nextLine" code, but the document was what I was looking for. Reading in progress. I've also scanned through http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual/gst.html#Tutorial -- also cool. However, neither of the above references give me the whole picture. I've yet to find anywhere *any* mention of keyboard I/O. Lot's of "mouse events" etc etc, but no elementary console input stuff. So I'm looking for a followup to the above tutorials. Something that would show me what a complete and functional Smalltalk program looks like in emacs. I want to try to do in Smalltalk what I've done with Perl, PHP, Tcl, and newLisp. Anybody know where lives such a tutorial?
