About Squeak
Squeak is a tightly integrated software development environment for live software construction using the object-oriented programming language Smalltalk. It runs on many computers and operating systems. Squeak is free, has a great license agreement, and is open source. Squeak has its own unique place in the universe. A growing community of Squeak developers and users meet here to share facts and pointers to other Squeak related websites.
If you're interested in the EToys scripting system and its uses in education, you should look at the Squeakland web site. There are tutorials and a number of other resources there for your use. You should also get the Squeakland release from that site rather than the releases discussed here if you're primarily using the Etoys environment or working with kids.
This site is a Wiki, which means that there is no designated editor. If you see a way to improve the site, feel free to do it yourself! If you are new to this site, please drop by the Acceptable Use page.

This swiki is an annex to the Squeak homepage at squeak.org and its mirror at UIUC. This swiki is mirrored here (here is a zipped version for offline use). You can modify any page here (except the Help Guide), and add your questions, answers, and examples of Squeak code - read help (above) to learn how.
