Re: [Help-smalltalk] recomended literature...

[Felix Franz]

Hi Pupeno,

First the classics: I enjoyed reading "Smalltalk the Language" (also  
known as the "Purple book") by Adele Goldberg and Dave Robson. The book  
is somewhat dated (1989), but nonetheless highly recommended. It is  
basically the same as the "Blue Book" (Smalltalk-80: The Language and  
its Implementation, by the same authors) but without the implementation  
chapters (which deals with the VM etc.). You can read the missing  
chapters online at  
<http://users.ipa.net/~dwighth/smalltalk/bluebook/ 
bluebook_imp_toc.html>

Stéphane Ducasse has collected some Smalltalk books at his website  
<http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~ducasse/FreeBooks.html>.


Cheers,

felix
