Thanks for the info on Smalltalk, Objects, and Design, by Chamond Liu I finally found a pdf version online Just into it. I prefer his type of writing with a great deal of background and examples. I'm project less and will follow Chamond's lead. Did you actually use IBM Small talk when using the book?
Thank You Paul

I learned Smalltalk from some of the books listed on Stef Ducasse's web page: http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html
I found the following particularly useful:
Smalltalk by Example, by Alex Sharp Smalltalk With Style, by Edward Klimas, Suzanne Skublics and David A Thomas
And a great book for beginners:
Smalltalk, Objects, and Design, by Chamond Liu
This was also surprisingly useful (terse, but well structured):
On To Smalltalk, by Patrick Henry Winston
It's essential to get into coding as quickly as possible (work on a small project!); then the books are used mainly for reference instead of learning.

HI,
Does anybody know of any good beginner level online / distance ED Squeak / Smalltalk programming classes?
Either free or for a small fee would be OK.
