ProfStef is alright, but I found all the Smalltalk books on the Pharo website as well as a different site that Stefane Duccasse hosts which has old, but mostly relevant books to be more helpful.<p>Pharo is really cool, but most of my coding use cases is either in scripting (Powershell, Bash, and Python generally make more sense here) or numerical programming (numpy works here and starting to look at Julia...I know there is a numerical methods book written in Pharo, but the ecosystem just isn't there).<p>Hopefully I'll get a chance to use it in the future.
