I like to learn Smalltalk. How should I start? Any suggestions regarding books or tutorials?

I took the liberty of changing "SmallTalk" to the correct form, "Smalltalk". – Frank Shearar Oct 20 '10 at 5:53
It's still "SmallTalk" in the title. I don't have enough rep to edit the post. Someone with necessary privileges, please change it to "Smalltalk". – missingfaktor Oct 20 '10 at 6:20
I missed that. Thanks, missingfaktor. – Frank Shearar Oct 20 '10 at 6:26

Probably the first step is deciding which implementation to use. Among the free implementations are Squeak, Pharo and GNU Smalltalk. There's not a lot of difference between Squeak and Pharo. The communities aim for slightly different things, but there's constant cross-contribution.

I don't use GNU Smalltalk, so I don't have pointers to their resources.

Good starting points for Squeak/Pharo are:

If you're interested in web apps, Dynamic Web Development with Seaside will gently introduce you to the Seaside framework.

I expanded the tiny URL: there's no point in saving characters in the post, and those URLs expire. – Frank Shearar Oct 20 '10 at 6:26
