 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. 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'').

-For Smalltalk/Self programmers: note that a keyworded message send does require a message sending operator (like ''.'') in between the receiver and the message, which is different from Smalltalk and Self. As will be described in later chapters, AmbientTalk features more than one message sending operator, so the programmer must explicitly specify an operator.+For Smalltalk/Self programmers: note that a keyworded message send does require a message sending operator (like ''.'') in between the receiver and the message, which is different from Smalltalk and Self.
