Hello, I don't know the article Sean is talking about so I am only discussing the point about message and late binding. What Sean explains is that message sending and late binding is at the essence of Smalltalk (and therefore Pharo). More over it is an *easy* concept to understand, and finally and probably more important: a learner getting it right at the first time will learn and understand *more easily* the way the Class libraries are built and practised. Hopefully there are already valuable resources on the topic one can reuse: http://www.smalltalk.org/articles/article_20100320_a3_Getting_The_Message.html Probably more: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q=smalltalk+essence+to+OOP And the points from Smalltalk creator: http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?AlanKaysDefinitionOfObjectOriented Thanks -- Dr. Geo - http://drgeo.eu iStoa - http://istoa.drgeo.eu
