I recently got interested in Squeak when I listen to the interview of
Dan Ingalls on FLOSS weekly. So to start learn I got the book Squeak Learn Programming with Robots. Is this a good book to learn basic programming with Squeak.

I think it is a great book to learn Squeak if you are new to programming.
If you are already a programmer and are looking to map your existing programming skill to Squeak, I'd use Squeak by Example. But the Robots book is a lot of fun.

It helped me demonstrate to my girlfriend (who's a first grade teacher) what object oriented programming is. Other books I've enjoyed: -Mark Guzdial's two squeak books. -Smalltalk-80: The Language and Its Implementation By Adele Goldberg and David Robson HTH, Bill > On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 7:35 PM, Kerry Chhim <kerry.chhim@...> wrote: > > I recently got interested in Squeak when I listen to the interview of > > Dan Ingalls on FLOSS weekly.

Sorry I am responding late, but I think the robots book is great for beginers that are not very experienced with programming in any language, and, it also give a very good intoduction to the way smalltalk works! Squeak By Example is my favorite programming book yet, it is well written, and teaches squeak very well, but I do not agree with the title. I think it doesnt have very many extensive examples, but it does have short examples of unrelated things. However, it does not have long examples that teach you how to make usefull things. I am not trying to complain about it, because i loved the book, and I also think that if it had too many examples. it wouldnot teach the same way it does because people might just copy the code from the book, instead of learning how to do things themselves. :)
have fun learning
