Getting Started: What to Load
I've decided to do a few "getting started with Cincom Smalltalk" screencasts, and I've just uploaded the first one. This one is focused on "what do I need to load". When you start VisualWorks, there are a number of packages you can load - which ones should you load if you want to have a decent beginners set? I won't claim that the set I came up with is definitive, but it's a start. Next time, I'll walk through what these packages do, and then I'll move on to some simple development problems. Here's the screencast - it's just over 5 minutes, and a trifle over 21 MB.

I would suggest VncServer and PyVnc2Swf. You get smaller flash movies, which you can incorporate in your html page. No sound, though...

James,
One comment: maybe you could consider using the NC version of VW for the newbie-oriented screencasts. I seem to recall that when I was first looking at VW there were slight differences between the developers version (?) and the NC version (e.g., UIPainter was already loaded ...). Maybe this is no longer the case.
