Subject: Re: greetings, looking for a simple tutorial

Thanks, I think I'll drill into TestRunner and break out my old Squeak book as another person suggested. I'm not a ST newbie, just a Squeak newbie, and it seems that UIs are different in all dialects :) I pretty much want to ignore MVC and look into morphic.

What helped me a lot was the PluggableMorphsDemo. It's a Squeak
project on PluggableListMorph, PluggableButtonMorph and
PluggableListMorph.

I forgot where I got it from, so I attached it, after checking it
works in 3.8.

Next step was learning how to build a UI programmatically. I learned
from TestRunner openAsMorph. This was 3.6 time. All was one linear
method. Nowadays its much better factored and IMHO much less
comprehensible.

I suggest you get that 3.6 image, otherwise drop me a mail and I send
you a fileout of that method to look at in your favourite text editor.
