3.0 out of 5 stars
Badly editied and organized, but is a must-have,
By Robert Claeson (Stockholm Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The VisualAge for Smalltalk Primer With CD ROM (SIGS: Advances in Object Technology) (Paperback)
This is one of the very few, if not the only book on IBM's VisualAge Smalltalk. It covers much of the v4 product, but is badly edited with errors in both the text and in the code. Its organization is also confusing, forcing the reader to swap back and forth among the chapters. Still, being about the only source of information on this fine Smalltalk system, this book deserves a place in the bookshelf of every developer using VisualAge Smalltalk. If it just were better written and organized, it would have earned four stars.
