If you can, get a copy of Kent Beck's "Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns".

But the key thing to keep in mind is that anything that isn't just a simple
message send (unary, binary or keyword) has some subsequence of one or more
message sends that can be pulled out and named separately with an
intention-revealing selector, providing both code reuse, and clarity.
