-AmbientTalk not only supports traditional canonical syntax (e.g. ''o.m(a,b,c)'') but also keyworded syntax (e.g. ''o.at: key put: value'') for method definitions and message sends, as in SmallTalk.
+As already explained in the [[at:tutorial:basic|basic programming]] part of the tutorial, AmbientTalk not only supports traditional canonical syntax (e.g. ''o.m(a,b,c)'') but also keyworded syntax (e.g. ''o.at: key put: value''). Keyworded syntax can be used both for method definitions and for message sends.
