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.
