Welcome to the Smalltalk Free Books

Hi I started to be fed up to see all the books I like to be out of print. So I started to contact authors and collect their old books. I would like to thanks them all and their publishers as well. If you know an author that is willing to give to the communitee a book, please give him my email. Soon you will get Little Smalltalk and Inside Smalltalk, and much more. Stay connected....
I added some other material because they illustrate the philosophy behind Smalltalk.

• The article from the Conference History of Programming Languages. A Must Read!
• The missing chapters of the blue Book.
• The Byte-81 article on Smalltalk the design principles.
• The article on Smalltalk 76.
