Second the motion. These are excellent materials, the best I have seen for
Smalltalk/Etoys.

I would go further, and recommend these tutorials to everyone involved
with OLPC and Sugar. I am experienced in a number of programming
languages, but was having trouble with Etoys until I viewed some of these
tutorials.

Smalltalk was designed for children to be able to use, but with sufficient
power to be useful lifelong. It is at the heart of our mission. However,
it was not designed to be learned with no help at all. ^_^ (See The
Undiscoverable on the Sugar Labs Wiki.)
