Smalltalk and Object Orientation: An Introduction

Rating:
Summary: THE one 4 smalltalk
Review: Too bad I discovered this book only a few days before the final exams. Nevertheless it cleared up a lot of open questions.
The book gives a good overview over the language itself, it gives a lot of examples and was perfect for our course as we used VisualWorks.
Hunt also eases the way into object-oriented programming for those familiar with modular languages such as Ada or procedural ones as Pascal or C. But there is no need to be overfamiliar with these other programming concepts.
It even covered those mysterious metaclasses and explains thus the whole system which is Smalltalk.
For those who want to go further each chapter has a Further Reading section, so the book could be used as a bibliography to Smalltalk and oo design.
