When I was starting I used: Terse Guide To Squeak: http://squeak.joyful.com/LanguageNotes (describes the syntax and provides a one line example for most of what a person uses on a day to day basis while coding, not so much for reading code/exploring the image) and http://www.amazon.com/Smalltalk-Best-Practice-Patterns-Kent/dp/013476904X and the mailing lists. > On the side... > I feel curious about how one gets to know about the existence of such > resources.

For several unimportant reasons automatic code formatting was removed in Pharo 2.0 and has not been restored to the official images. To get it in Pharo 3 you have to load a slice from the Pharo30 inbox. The Pharo30Inbox should be in your list of repositories in your Monticello browser. Once youve opened it search for SLICE-Issue-14387-ressurrect-format-on-accept-and-format-on-display Load the package in the pane on the right hand side. Once the slice is loaded open the settings browser from the world menu. Choose the 'Code Browsing' section and click the boxes next to 'Pretty Print' and 'Format code on accept' Good luck Paul > Best, > Laura -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Useful-tools-tp4799187p4799390.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
