An by the way. Forget all you know about those languages. After learning smalltalk, you'll never see the world the same way. Do ou remember Neo in The Matrix when he sees the code of the matrix? :) Cheers, Miguel Cobá On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 10:15 AM, Miguel Cobá [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This

There was one I forgot to mention, which claims to use a similar production paradigm to SmallTalk - that is Ruby. I've been programming in Ruby for over a year now, which I know isn't the same, already, but it too is completely Object Oriented and Object Based. On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 10:18 AM,

Welcome, I am 14, and I just started with Smalltalk and Squeak, and I personally feel that it is easier to use and understand, once you get a basic understanding of how everything works. I have only really written software in Java, and I have played around with C++ a bit, but Smalltalk is my

That's good to hear - so I am wondering would people here place Squeak in a category of Visual Programming Languages (visual like Visual Basic)? On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 2:47 PM, David Zmick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Welcome, I am 14, and I just started with Smalltalk and Squeak, and I

I don't think so. I think that for visual programming you mean drag drop controls (buttons, tables, input text, etc) to a canvas that will be show to the user as a classical desktop app. Smalltalk is not that (although you can do application with buttons and all that) but much more. Isn't just
