jarober.com is a personal blog at jarober.com about programming and history. Since 2010, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 7 times, most often “Smalltalk screencasts”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
James Robertson's blog, valued for its Smalltalk content, especially the Independent Missinterpretations Smalltalk podcast. Also linked for a Smalltalk learning post and a note on DabbleDB.
