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.
