Constructions at Work: The Nature of Generalization in Language
Adele Goldberg

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

This book investigates the nature of generalization in language and examines how language is known by adults and acquired by children. It looks at how and why constructions are learned, the relation between their forms and functions, and how cross-linguistic and language-internal generalizations about them can be explained. Constructions at Work is divided into three parts: in the first Professor Goldberg provides an overview of ...

The Smalltalk Developer's Guide to VisualWorks With diskette (SIGS: Advances in Object Technology)

SIGS, 1995

A must for serious UI programmers
I like this book especially, because it explains in detail all this UIBuilder and Spec stuff. If you want to understand how to build powerful user interfaces, this book is must. It really gives you insight into the mechanisms of the VisualWorks UI building. It was rather easy for me, to add own widget specs into the framework after reading it.

Constructions: A Construction Grammar Approach to Argument Structure (Cognitive Theory of Language and ...
Adele E. Goldberg

University Of Chicago Press, 1995

Drawing on work in linguistics, language acquisition, and computer science, Adele E. Goldberg proposes that grammatical constructions play a central role in the relation between the form and meaning of simple sentences. She demonstrates that the syntactic patterns associated with simple sentences are imbued with meaning--that the constructions themselves carry meaning independently of the words in a sentence. Goldberg provides a ...

Succeeding With Objects: Decision Frameworks for Project Management

Excellent Coverage of Social Aspects of Information Sharing
Although this book is now around 10 years old, it still has one of the best coverages of the social aspects of information sharing. Although the subject of the book is the sharing of reusable Object-oriented frameworks, the material is appropriate for many shared metadata and semantic web activities related to metadata publishing and semantic brokers. I highly recommend this book to ...

Smalltalk 80: The Language (Addison-Wesley Series in Computer Science)

Adele Goldberg, David Robson

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1989

One of the best book
"Smalltalk/80 - The Languaje" is not only a clasical book, it's a very modern book. Most of the content is incredible actual and very funny to read. You can't say "I know Smalltalk" if you don't read it.

Smalltalk-80: The Interactive Programming Environment (Addison-Wesley series in computer science)

Adele Goldberg

Addison-Wesley, 1983

Just an amazing book
Of course all 3 ST published books are classics and all have 5 star ratings from me, this one in particular is GREAT for a newbie getting started with an ST-80 based system like Squeak, at least from a historical perspective. The book covers as its title implies the UI, so don't expect a language lesson here, get this book if you can find it and hold onto it, a huge piece of history and well ...

Smalltalk-80: The Language and its Implementation

Adele Goldberg, David Robson

Addison-Wesley, 1983

If there was ever a book that needed to be brought back into print...
If someone out there from Addison-Wesley is listening, hopefully they'll hear this plea to bring "Smalltalk-80: The Language and its Implementation" back into print. There is simply no better resource to completely cover this beautiful, unique system. Smalltalk is an extremely important language for both OOP and otherwise; there are volumes of concepts here that are remarkably relevant to this ...

Conceptual Structure, Discourse and Language (Center for the Study of Language and Information - Lecture ...

Center for the Study of Language and Inf, 2001

This collection of papers is the result of the first Conceptual Structure, Discourse and Language conference (CSDL) held at the University of California, San Diego. The conference brought together researchers from both 'Cognitive' and 'Functional' approaches to linguistics. The papers in this volume span a variety of topics, but the common thread running through them is the claim that semantics and discourse properties are fundamental to the ...

Visual Object-Oriented Programming: Concepts and Environments

Margaret Burnett, Adele Goldberg

Prentice Hall, 1995

Dated and not all that good
This book is a bit dated and I didn't find the material to be very useful. I think this is probably because this is a very immature field within computer science. If your a researcher or a professor then you might have some use for this book, if your anyone else, stay away!
