Proofreading Smalltalk sections of thesis

Hi everyone,

I'm writing my Masters thesis on object-oriented
programming language features. It's a survey of seven different
languages: Smalltalk, Eiffel, Objective-C, C++, Java, Python, and
Ruby. I'm trying to get a reviewer for each language, just to make
sure I haven't misrepresented them in any way. I have written code in
each of them, but obviously I haven't become an expert in all of them.

Would one of you be willing to proofread the Smalltalk sections of my
thesis? (I am using Squeak.) You wouldn't need to be nitpicky, just
make sure I haven't misrepresented or left out anything. It would
probably only take you an hour or two. I would send it to you this
evening, and I would need your comments by Wednesday night. (Yes, I
know, I'm cutting things a little short.) You would receive a mention
in the acknowledgments.

I look forward to hearing from some of you.

Thanks,
Ben Pharr

Hi,

I would be interested in looking at it. I am a retired professor and I
wrote an introduction to Smalltalk, now in public domain, several years
ago.

Hi Ivan,

I'm interested in the intro and the text it's attached to ;-) Where can
we find your intro?

Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

Hi Brad,

The text was originally contracted to Addison-Wesley and is,
interestingly, listed on Amazon.com although it was never published. One
of the places where you can find it is Stephane's

http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~ducasse/FreeBooks.html

It is, obviously, somewhat out of date and was based on VisualWorks.

Ivan
