Smalltalk Learning Project: Any recommendation? [closed]

Question

Currently I am learning Smalltalk. I do this because I want to learn as much as I can in one week about a new programming language in order to improve my skills. Next week I will try something else.

So far I am able to read Smalltalk code but I have a very limited experience in writing. Can you recommend me any small size project that will help me understand better this language in a short time period?

Answer 1

Look into a book Squeak by Example, there are many examples to work on and practice. After a while you'll be very well prepared for some real, yet mini project.

I think you need only few days for a book with examples, so this is well spend time even if you have just one week.

Answer 2

I really, really like The Laser Game Tutorial

Tutorial: Squeak Development Example for Squeak 3.9

A.K.A. "The Laser Game Tutorial" This excellent tutorial by Stephan Wessels will guide you through installing Squeak, to creating a fun game using the Morphic graphics system, all > while observing solid object-oriented design principles

It is divided in 6 Sessions so 1 each day although I must say each session has taken me two hours or so.

Perfect for your objectives.
