Further work on the Squeak Development Example
I've been pushing farther along on the Squeak
Development Example and want to post an update on status.
Since having published the Squeak Development
Example tutorial at the end of June, I've gotten a lot of feedback. With the
exception of a few constructive but not as positive comments, everything has
been overwhelmingly positive.
Since then I've made a lot more progress and have gone back and addressed a few errors and amplified sections where folks have written in with either questions or specific comments. The tutorial is here . Since the initial publication I've added an "Undo button and "Reset". There have also been a lot of tweaks to the overall appearance of the game. The latest set of work includes an initial pass at making an application. It's still a VM and dedicated image file, and needs more of the programmer capabilities disabled, but it works.
There's also a notes and edit history available. The notes includes a section where I discuss the principal objectives of the tutorial and my initial belief about intended audience. There's been enough feedback from Smalltalk newbies (all positive news) that I'm re-thinking the base assumptions in the tutorial about the target audience and will likely go back and add and rework some of the early pages to better handle folks new to Smalltalk and Squeak.
There's still lots to do.
