I have posted a series of video tutorial for Pharo and in some of them I explain the basics of OO with practical examples

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:

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:
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,
