"A Taste of Smalltalk" and "On To Smalltalk" are excellent for beginners.

Subject:	Smalltalk book for beginners?




A friend of mine wants to learn to program.  I immediately suggested
Squeak as something to start with, but I don't know of any "Learn to
Program Using Smalltalk" sorts of books out there, and given his level
of computer knowledge, I doubt he'd be able to learn from just the
source code.

Can somebody point me to a book, online tutorial, video series,
etc. on programming in Smalltalk for non-programmers?  Is there such a
thing?  I'd hate to let another human mind become polluted with Visual
Basic.
