Learning Dolphin Smalltalk and Continuations in particular.

#1 09-01-2008, 05:43 PM

Hi,
I'm a Ruby programmer interested in switching to Dolphin Smalltalk,
and I'm looking for a place to start. Is there any book or tutorial
that you would recommend? The only book I found was called "Dolphin
Smalltalk Companion" but it's pretty out-of-date.

I'm particularly interested in Continuations in smalltalk. Both how to
use the existing implementation, and also how to implement it myself.
I've dug around on Google for information but information is scarce. A
link or article about either would be really really helpful.

Thanks for your help
-Patrick

Hello Patrick,

http://www.dolphinmap.net/wiki/Links has a few references.
Especially this:

Sorry, cannot help you with more (am not really a Dolphin person).
