I am looking for a good basic reference on the object oriented ideas behind smalltalk. This is tangentially related to the research I am doing, but I would like to be able to reference an authoritative source. Please respond by email, I don't regularly read this group. advTHANKSance, --marc -=- "Master, why is the letter 'i' the symbol for current?" "Because there is no letter 'i' in the word 'current'." "Master, why do we use the letter 'j' for sqrt(-1)?" "Because we use the letter 'i' for current." Whereupon the Master struck the Disciple, and the Disciple became enlightened.

From: Simon Ross <S.Ross@uk.ac.ucl.cs> While we are on the subject to references I would like to learn more about PERSISTENT PROGRAMMING especially in the context of Smalltalk and object-oriented programming. I have what appears to be the definitive reference; Atkinson, M. P., Buneman, P. & Morrison, K. (1988) Data types and Persistence. Published by Springer Anyone care to add to my list of one? Simon Ross Computer Science University College London sross@cs.ucl.ac.uk PS can you reply to me direct (as well) as I can't always access this group.
