I started (re) learning a smattering of Smalltalk a few months ago, partly I was reminded by Objective C. I'd love to go to a session on any of those languages. In particular I think it would help to guide people from "ok, here's hello world" to "if you write this toy application you'll start to really grok the language". -- Martin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
