Summary: Excellent Introduction to Objects, Dolphin and Smalltalk
Review: As a long time Smalltalker, I enjoy reading introductions to Smalltalk and Smalltalk programming environments to learn new techniques and approaches. What I found in Ted's book was an excellent introduction to objects, programming, and Smalltalk, as well as how to implement these ideas in the Dolphin Smalltalk environment.

Dolphin is a relatively new Smalltalk environment for me, so I learned several techniques that sped up my application development. Ted develops an application from start to finish in the book, so it is loaded with practical advice and code.

This book is ideal for anyone curious about objects, how Smalltalk works, or learning the Dolphin environment for the first time. It includes the Value Edition of the Dolphin Smalltalk Environment, so you are ready to go when the book arrives. This makes the book an exceptional value.

Next, I plan to use it to introduce software development to my 13 year old son!

Summary: ever wondered how to write a 'real' app in smalltalk???
Review: great book! only 1/3 of the way through and i cannot put it down (except to write this review of course). I have many, many computer books of various languages and technologies and this is the only one where i have felt motivated, no compelled to turn each page and complete every task as written.
