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?
TIA...
