People who want to learn Squeak should consider taking a course that I
am teaching this summer.  It is completely on-line.  The course is
much more than just a course on Squeak, since it is design, design
patterns, designing frameworks, etc.  But Smalltalk is the language of
the course, and Squeak is the Smalltalk that we use, so an important
side effect of the course is that students learn Squeak.  The lcourse
doesn't say much about Croquet, but the last half of the course is a
project, and it would be fine to do a project using Croquet.  The
course is called "Object-oriented programming and design".

The on-line courses are at http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/online/
Most of the people who take the courses are in our on-line MS program.
However, you can sign up to take just a single course without joining
the MS program.

This is a real coruse, with regular assignments and an exam.  I don't
know the price, but the department makes money off of them so it is
not cheap.  However, if you take this course then you will learn
Squeak, and will learn object-oriented design, as well.  The course
will definitely get you ready to develop applications in Croquet.
