Bridging the gap between well established software engineering principles and the real-world practice of programming, this book presents guidelines for programming in the Smalltalk language that will result in source code that is clear, easy to read, and easy to understand. Covers layout and structure; comments; code formatting; software reuse and overall program structure; reliability and portability; tips, tricks, and traps. For product managers and programmers using all object-oriented languages....

This practical text provides an introduction to programming in Smalltalk, and explains the most efficient ways to think about and work with the system. Split into two parts, the first part covers the important technical background for programmers and managers, while the second part introduces some of the basic philosophy of Smalltalk. This text aims to demystify the transition from conventional programming to programming with Smalltalk. It includes a step-by-step guide, taking the reader through the basics, via object-oriented programming with the Smalltalk language and its development environment, right up to designing, coding and debugging programs....
