There is some good stuff at http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html What else would you recommend? I think I'm going to get 'A Mentoring Course on Smalltalk' By Andres Valloud (http://www.lulu.com/shop/andres-valloud/a-mentoring-course-on-smalltalk/pape...). Because I've seen some glowing reviews (http://seandenigris.com/blog/?p=573) What else? Is 'Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns' by Kent Beck still relevant to pharo?

For me it is one of the best Smalltalk books. Also, one of my favorite oldies is late David N Smith Smalltalk FAQ. Obviously there is some information which is way out of date, but I really like his style. http://udos.users.dolphinmap.net/archive/DavesSmalltalkFAQ.pdf
thats good to hear , I ordered it together with "Pharo by Example" and "The Supercollider Book". They will be arriving here on Monday. "Smalltalk Practice Patterns" was the only one I had doubts about so its good to know that you liked it. And thanks for that link. ________________________________ From: Davorin Rusevljan <davorin.rusevljan@gmail.com> To: A friendly place where any question about pharo is welcome <pharo-users@lists.gforge.inria.fr> Sent: Thursday, 13 December 2012, 12:04 Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Book recommendations On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 7:22 AM, Peter H.

Smalltalk with Style is one of my favourites! I've read it three times and keep coming back to it for advice every now and then :) 2012/12/13 dimitris chloupis <thekilon@yahoo.co.uk>

Yes, this is def a good choice. Low level patterns, but very useful... Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Book-recommendations-tp4659136p4660192.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
