Self Tutorials

[garthgoldwater]

Hey, thanks so much for maintaining this project! It's running just fine on OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan. I'm really interested in the self development and programming model -- and I have a very slight passing familiarity with smalltalk. Where's a good place to get started learning how to use this thing? What's happened to the intro displayed at 1:44 in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR4pFk0xj9w

I gave a quick screencast I did for someone on IRC showing the basics of using the environment at http://cd.pn/self_cast.ogv. Warning, turn the sound down to a low volume. I messed up the recording and it's distorted but listenable at a low quality. At some point I should redo it.

I have others in my posts on my weblog that show various things. More video tutorials/screencasts would be great. It's difficult to appreciate Self by reading text and screenshots.

Thanks for the quick response! I've been trying to go through the handbook but I'd prefer to start with like "here's how you make a bank account that you can withdraw from and deposit to", before I start getting into formal semantics

I'll try and throw a quick screencast together that demonstrates that now.

Ok, here's my attempt at a quick bank account creating screencast.

Very nice! I'll share that with the mailing list.

This screencast rules! Answered all my questions, thank you!
