IBM Smalltalk: The Language

Rating:
Summary: A good reference book
Review: This book is great as a reference for the class library. I use this book when I'm trying to find just the right Collection or Stream method to use - it's much faster than browsing through all the code.

Summary: A good reference book
Review: This was my first experience with the Smalltalk language. It was recommended to me by someone who already programs with Smalltalk. I found that this book was very good the second time through. After reading this book the first time, a lot of the concepts seemed a little fuzzy. After reading it the second time, I then had a better grasp on the language and was able to program most of the examples given in the book without too much difficulty. Knowing now the contents and organization of this book, it is now one of MY recommended reference and learning books.
