Smalltalk/X Programmers guide
Introduction
This is the Smalltalk/X programmers guide. You will notice, that it does
not describe the language itself nor will you find detailed documentation on
a per-class basis.
First, for the language itself, there is good literature available
in your next bookstore;
second, for the classes, you can find all the information
by looking at the code, using the browser or by studying the examples.
A description of all methods and classes would probably be not up-to-date
anyway (use the
SystemBrowsers
printProtocol function to get this kind
of reference manual).
The language and class library as implemented and used by Smalltalk/X is highly compatible to
that of other Smalltalk systems, which makes existing literature just as
useful when learning.
This documentation will therefore concentrate on aspects and concepts of the system which are either
not (well) documented in literature or where the implementation in Smalltalk/X
differs from other smalltalk systems.
