It's a very good introductory book for Smalltalk in general but it is not focused on Pharo but in IBM's Smalltalk. It has a good treatment of OOP, and the basic classes. But if you want to learn about specific Pharo frameworks and APIs it wont help you that much. cheers Nacho

hello,

would the book; smalltalk, objects and design by chamond liu be considered good to work through using "pharo"?

i am currently working through; squeak, a quick trip to object-land. while nice as an introduction, doesn't feel like it might be deep enough for me as i progress further.

i am looking at the pharo books, but, a previous discussion mentioned something about newer versions being in the works, would prefer to wait for them.

thanks. a question; would the second book require me to work through the original book on design patterns first? ~mayuresh On Sun, Jan 25, 2015 at 06:06:31PM -0800, Sebastian Heidbrink wrote:

Definitely a good book!

You might also consider these, too:

a must http://www.amazon.ca/The-Design-Patterns-Smalltalk-Companion/dp/0201184621
