Nice Explanations of Difficult concepts

I find computer programmers are obscure writers. They don't seem able to express what they mean well. But this is not so for Mr Sharp. I've read online articles on OOP and other books on topics such as encapsulation, polymorphism, and messages and methods, and somehow the ideas just didn't gel. But with Mr Sharp's lovely concrete examples, I finally saw the light. Even if you want to programme in another OOP language I would recommend reading the early parts of this book to understand these concepts clearly.

Excellent

This is the one Smalltalk book that I carry with my laptop. If there's a Smalltalk feature that I haven't dealt with in some time then I'll take a peek at it here before I do anything else. It's great for Smalltalkers who are just about to ascend the steep portion of the language's learning curve - this book will drag you right up to the top!

Relatively very good.

This book very readable and informative if you are working with the VisualWorks SmallTalk interpreter. Most books on Smalltalk are quite useless. Maybe because there are various SmallTalk interpreters with their own basic class structures. I'm still looking for a book like this but twice the size, so that it includes comprehensive GUI analysis, garbage collection, IO handling, etc. However, for what this book sets out to do, it does it very well.

One of the best books on Smalltalk

This book is fun to read and to learn from. It teaches so many advanced Smalltalk programming techniques. Those that make the difference between an expert and a beginner. It is a quantum jump for the reader. Wisdom and pleasure in doing it better awaits you here. Unique, motivating appreciation for the beauty of this language.
