Although finding out why an example did not work is a great <br>learning achievement people are usually good at providing enough not <br>working examples for themselves. :-)<br><br>The site Casey recommended is a great resource, it can be found here.<br>http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html<br><br>But you have to be a bit careful because of the differences in Smalltalk <br>dialects.
