I have posted a series of video tutorial for Pharo and in some of them I explain the basics of OO with practical examples https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbtQ7OkSta0ULYAd7Qdxof851ybh-_m_ if you throw also PBE I think you pretty much covered. OO is not really a difficult concept, an object is just a collection of variables and methods and then it builds complexity from there. But if you already so familiar with Squeak that should come as riding a bike, you cant forget these things. So I am sure you will remember it quickly when you try your your own experiments. By the way welcome to Pharo and keep us posted with your progress . Peronally I love Squeak is hands down the most elegant GUI system I have used, but I use Pharo because its more actively developed and better in the things that interest me.

Welcome to the Smalltalk world..
You would have already seen:
http://pharo.org/documentation in particular: http://pharobyexample.org/
In Pharo Start with the Pharo Tutorials through ( Left Click on the World, Help >> Pharo Tutorials )
Watch the screencasts.. in the documentation page..
Probably relevant will be Web application development with Seaside framework in Pharo Smalltalk: http://book.seaside.st/book
Rest will fall into place once you sink yourself in, and ask questions relevant to where you are wanting to head to..

A hello to Pharo-Users list members.
I am Mayuresh Kathe from Mumbai, India.
I used to work with Squeak a while (14 years) back, but ever since I had to move over to non-OOP environments, and never did get to work with Smalltalk or alike systems ever since.
To add to that, I haven't been programming for over 7 years due to being pushed into the management track. I have quit the management world, and along with it a regular job.
Am now a consultant, mostly to Web startups which leaves me with a lot of spare time to tinker around with what I would really like to.
After a lot of searching and experimenting, I finally landed in Pharo land, and things look good. :)
Given the fact that I haven't written a single fully functional program in 7 years, I feel like I've lost the ability to code, sort-a rusty.
Would the list members be kind enough to suggest a book I could work through to warm myself up to OOP? I stumbled upon "The Object Oriented Thought Process" by Matt Weisfeld, looks good, but if there's anything better suited to Pharo, would be nice to know.
Thanks,
~Mayuresh
