Stefan,
 
 If you are working with Croquet, its probably the best route to sit
down and learn Smalltalk. It's a very easy language to learn in my
opinion. I think too that you will find that leanring Smalltalk will
make you a better object oriented programmer in all the languages you
know. I feel that way about myself having come from Java/C++/Obj C.
The purple book is a great place to start. Smalltalk 80 : The Language
by Adele Goldberg, David Robson; June 1989; Addison-Wesley Pub Co;
ISBN: 0201136880.

It can usually be found on Amazon for not too much money. Cincom also
has a great series of tutorials that are applicable to Squeak as well.
There are definite differences between Visual works and Squeak, but
the tutorials for Cincom's Visual works are generic enough and a great
way to learn Smalltalk. See www.cincom.com for more info.

Hope that helps,
-Brian Tabone
