Smalltalk Learning Project: Any recommendation? [closed]

Answer 1

Anything not too trivial goes well. If you plan going on squeak, I'd propose you to write a card game, lottery or something else such.

It'd be more useful for you to find out some example code though. What prevents you from writing C in smalltalk?

Answer 2

Apart from the The Laser Game Tutorial. (that I recommended in my previous answer)

There is the "The Bowling Game"

Article: Discovering Better Code Series

A.K.A. "The Bowling Example" A guided tour through the mind of a Smalltalker: How to build a business model from the ground up, factoring it along the way. If you don't understand how Smalltalkers think or why they think that way, you need to read this series.

The really nice thing about this project is that it is like being the pair-programmer of a great developer.

The author Ron Jeffries is one of tho founders of Extreme Programming and a book author.

So it is a really good resource. I wish more tutorials where written like this.
