Ann: Self Handbook

[Russell Allen]

 From the Blog (http://blog.selflanguage.org/2009/09/29/announcing-the-self-handbook/ 
):
Documentation is at the heart of any successful open source project  
and, as Self wakes from its slumbers, documentation is vital to  
providing a way for interested people to learn and participate.

Self has a number of manuals, as well as important published papers,  
but these have been available only as pdf.

Three of these manuals (the Programmers Reference Manual, the  
Programming Environment Manual and the Morphic Manual) have been  
turned into HTML and combined into the new Self Handbook, which is  
available to read on line at http://docs.selflanguage.org.

This is quite comprehensive—in pdf form it is at the moment around 140  
pages.

Read and enjoy!

Thanks, this is a great help.

I find that section 3.1 (World Organisation) produces an Oops.. This link appears to be broken page recently.

Regards,

Rob

Another issue - minor this time - is that the hierarchy in section 4.1 - Random Numbers - is not indented in the HTML.
