Good to have run through a lec on Smalltalk/ Dynamic languages in general at VIT chennai 40 odd college grads.
Should do it on a regular basis and I guess for 2 hours with a short break. Go through the entire details and enable them to get started right after productively if they so wish.
Coming back, I though it would be great to have two versions or probably more of the smalltalk cd I would want to hand out:
1. Cd containing scratch ( elements, BYOB , Panther too ) , Etoys, plopp , Dr Geo, Magic Words, all that can be used by kids right from age of 4-5 … Onwards to play n develop with. Videos for Etoys , scratch and others with other projects of interest…
2. Pharo n squeak cd with seaside bundled env , groovy with all its package, XMLrpc enabled system, all books relevant, videos to get going with. If I can have this as a DVD inside a live Linux or as installable portable apps even better… Or a VM …
These are a must to get it spread wider to the entire sub continent…
Book on smalltalk covering these would not be out of place now..
Get going… Sooner rather than later..
