<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div>Good night</div>
<div>My name is Tetsuo I want to study CS to become the best
hacker in the world -well that was a joke. Sort of. I
discovered Cuis-Smalltalk reviewing Squeak messages. I find
Squeak impossible to understand, I also tried Pharo but that
is even worse and there is no space for beginners. It seems to
me that they are developing a Smalltalk only for people who
know Smalltalk. I found Cuis at least small and simple,
something that I think I would be able to learn; somehow,
sometime. I am following The Cuis Book and the github
repository Learning Cuis.But this is all new to me. So I would
like to know from the most experienced suggestions about the
path to follow in learning Cuis.Clues, methodologies, etc. I
would like to start my learning of CS with Smalltalk.</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

Hi Tetsuo,<br>
<br>
Welcome to the Cuis community. We hope you have a great time
learning and building with Cuis!<br>
<br>
In addition to what other folks have already suggested, see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis</a> . This is a great
resource.<br>
<br>
Also, there are many free Smalltalk books available on the web. Most
material covering Smalltalk-80 or Squeak applies to some extent to
Cuis too.<br>
<br>
Feel free to ask any questions here.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
