Talking Small

Another newbee is discovering Smalltalk. Looks like he tries to learn a language each month and also stumbled over Pharo.

If he really wants to learn Smalltalk and find out more he for sure will need more time than just a simple month. Initial steps in Smalltalk are easy, also syntax is easy to learn - but learning what power it contains requires more time and a deeper understanding. Also it takes a while to understand why things are the way they are. Often learning to deal with pure OO also means to unlearn (bad) things from the mainstream programming languages...

Nonetheless nice summary of his early steps.
