smalltalk - squeak - open source implementation

book on squeak
http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/SBE/
Squeak by Example is an open-source book about Squeak. Squeak is an
open-source implementation of the Smalltalk-80 programming language and
environment.


This book presents the various aspects of Squeak, starting with the basics,
and proceeding to more advanced topics. This book will not teach you how to
program. The reader should have some familiarity with programming
languages. Some background with object-oriented programming would be
helpful.


This book will introduce the Squeak programming environment, the language
and the associated tools. You will be exposed to common idioms and
practices, but the focus is on the technology, not on object-oriented
design.


Topics


The book helps you get started with A Quick Tour of Squeak and guides you
through A First Application. The Smalltalk language is introduced in three
chapters on Syntax in a Nutshell, Understanding Message Syntax and The
Smalltalk Object Model.


Development with Squeak is covered in The Squeak Programming Environment
and SUnit. Several of the key classes are presented in chapters on Basic
Classes, Collections, Streams and Morphic.


The first version of the book concludes with chapters on Classes and
Metaclasses and Frequently Asked Questions.
