This is a book about what we believe may well be the Computer Programming Language of the 90s: Smalltalk. No, you're not about to be subjected to yet another sales pitch for Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and the languages that support that approach to software design and construction. If you've purchased this book, you're already sold on OOP and probably at least to some degree on Smalltalk as well.
As we looked at the available book titles about Smalltalk programming when we started this project, we noticed that those books as well as documentation for Smalltalk products, provided very good introductory information. But the level of detail was such that these materials did not really help the reader to see easily how real-world applications could be constructed in Smalltalk. Yet we realized, too, that once you have a Smalltalk environment in your hands, the natural thing to want to do is to build something useful and interesting. Helping you understand how to build applications is the sole focus of this book.
