Hello Dawn,
At the risk of being regarded as small talk, I would like to suggest that
you go ahead with learning Small Talk. It should be quite easy. Even I
have no programming background, and an experienced programming
professional and teacher suggested that I could learn Small Talk.
However, as I do not have the need for it immediately, I have not learnt
it so far.
If memory serves me right, Small Talk is from the Applie/Mac stable.
Anything from there, I feel, is easy to learn -- ar at least it looks
like that. All the best!
Best wishes from India!
Guru
