Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Bridging the gap between 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, code formatting, reliability and portability, and tips.

From the Publisher

Designed to bridge the gap between well-established software engineering principles and the actual practice of programing in an OOP language such as Smalltalk, this text documents a minimal set of guidelines and potential standards in design techniques that promote easy reuse and maintenance of object-oriented code, reduce the number of defects, and make code easier to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for improving your smalltalk programming style, July 19, 2000
By Mayer Goldberg (Beer Sheva, Negev Israel) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book, it really is. The only potential for disappointment is if you think this book will teach you smalltalk -- it will not. This book is about good programming convensions in smalltalk -- it's about style and consistency and clarity. All this may sound too trivial to merit a book, but consider the following:

You will not find many people that program in smalltalk and you will not be able to see a lot of code. This means that your coding style will take longer to develop *naturally*, on your own. This is where Smalltalk With Style comes in: It's a small book and makes simple and easy reading. When you're done with it, you'll put it aside and most likely never refer to it again. But it will change the way you write code in smalltalk, and your code will begin to look the way smalltalk code should. The advantage of this book is that it packs invaluable programming experience in a wonderful, but not-so-popular programming language into a very small book. Get it, read it, get over with it, and go on to write code like a natural smalltalker.

5.0 out of 5 stars A definitive "Must Have", April 28, 2000
This is one of two or three "must have" books that every person interested in or practicing Smalltalk needs to read and keep on a shelf near by. This book will teach you everything you need to know about writing clear and concise Smalltalk code. The author, Ed Klimas, is one of the most well known Smalltalk guru's around.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good summary of 100 or so pitfalls and perils, June 15, 1999
This books, short and to the point of what to do and what not to do with SmallTalk. Simple, and concise, the book covers issues of style that actually can and do apply to anyone who is interested in creating and leaving quality code in place for others to learn from and prosper. Almost a book about Code Karma.
