[SPAM] [Newbies] Is the "Blue Book" still useful?

[Mateusz Grotek]

Yes, the book is still very useful. I consider it a "standard"  
reference for Smalltalk.
Nevertheless consider the following links too:

http://www.squeakbyexample.org/ - this gives you more updated info on  
Squeak (like e.g. Monticello, Morphic).
http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html - a huge collection of  
Smalltalk books.
