Nothing else to comment on but this:

> Btw: I'm currently reading "Smalltalk-80: The Language and its implementation". What's your opinion on that book?

It's required reading and it will tell you how to build Smalltalk-the-language (inefficiently, but productively), but it won't really teach you how to use Smalltalk today. For your purposes, it's definitely the right book.
