Thanks for the welcome note. :)
I am quite certain that I want to head in a direction away from Web
application development using Pharo.
I see in Pharo the promise that was left unhonoured by Squeak, one of
having an elegant system instead of a quilt.
The Pharo UI looks better than any of the ones in the Squeak world,
though, I believe Pharo's LnF can be taken to a whole new level, and
that's what I intend to work on once I've gained enough command over the
environment and the programming language.
Best,
~Mayuresh

Welcome to the Smalltalk world..
You would have already seen:
http://pharo.org/documentation [1] in particular:
http://pharobyexample.org/ [2]
In Pharo Start with the Pharo Tutorials through ( Left Click on the
World, Help >> Pharo Tutorials )
Watch the screencasts.. in the documentation page..
Probably relevant will be Web application development with Seaside
framework in Pharo Smalltalk:
http://book.seaside.st/book [3]
Rest will fall into place once you sink yourself in, and ask questions
relevant to where you are wanting to head to..

A hello to Pharo-Users list members.
I am Mayuresh Kathe from Mumbai, India.
I used to work with Squeak a while (14 years) back, but ever since
I had to move over to non-OOP environments, and never did get to
work with Smalltalk or alike systems ever since.
To add to that, I haven't been programming for over 7 years due to
being pushed into the management track.
I have quit the management world, and along with it a regular job.
Am now a consultant, mostly to Web startups which leaves me with a
lot of spare time to tinker around with what I would really like to.
After a lot of searching and experimenting, I finally landed in
Pharo land, and things look good. :)
Given the fact that I haven't written a single fully functional
program in 7 years, I feel like I've lost the ability to code,
sort-a rusty.
Would the list members be kind enough to suggest a book I could
work through to warm myself up to OOP?
I stumbled upon "The Object Oriented Thought Process" by Matt
Weisfeld, looks good, but if there's anything better suited to
Pharo, would be nice to know.
Thanks,
~Mayuresh
