My goodness I quoted the question, it’s not ambiguous. They were looking for directed advice. Clearly. Don’t be a jerk. You don’t have to provide advice but you don’t have to be mean about dismissing the request either.

Wow.

First you imply my question was rude, and then you call me a jerk, and then you call me mean.

I did not dismiss the request, I gave a recommendation.

That was the question. You often comment about SmallTalk here on HN, so I figured that perhaps you had any learning resources as you previously pointed out that I might have things mixed up.

In this case, I would want to learn more just for the fun of it, like learning to play an instrument, holding off effecting the world for now.

Hi Fredrik, if you're based in Europe or America I would suggest joining one of the online UK Smalltalk User Group meetings and have a chat with us. You can check out our website or drop us an email - details are in our profile.

As a matter of history, I have some experience with Smalltalk.

The first Smalltalk implementation I used was bought because I had already implemented a proof-of-concept prototype on a spreadsheet (Lotus 123 iirc).

As-it-happens I have no experience with Smalltalk-as-a-hobby.
