Hello list, my name is Marc Hanisch, I'm from Germany and I recently joined the list. I'm new to GNU Smalltalk but was curious about the language, because every time I heard about cool features of a programming language (like Ruby) they said: this feature came from Smalltalk :-)
I'm familiar with C-like languages (C, Java and most of the time PHP but Ruby too) and playing around with GNU Smalltalk is very exciting. At the moment I'm a bit confused about images vs. files. I'm accustomed to work with files with my favorite texteditor in PHP and this works in Smalltalk, too. But what is the advantage of images? And to be honestly, the GNU Smalltalk documentation is not the best and clearly one... So maybe someone can show me the advantages of images or why to use them... Best regards, Marc _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk
