Smalltalk-80, The Interactive Programming Environment

Smalltalk-80, The Interactive Programming Environment

Great for a newbie getting started with an ST-80 based system like Squeak. The book covers as its title implies the UI. The Smalltalk-80 system consists of an object-oriented programming language and an integrated collection of tools for interacting with components of that language.

Book Description

In the Smalltalk-80 language, the fundamental way to indicate that something should happen is by sending a message to an object.
An object is a representation of information consisting of private memory, and a set of operations to manipulate information stored in the private memory or to carry out some actions relative to that information. Sending a message is the Smalltalk-80 way of asking the object to carry out one of its operations.
