I'm not saying that it won't help you as a developer,
but you probably won't get a job "in
it."
Well, there have been postings to the extremeprogramming
group on Yahoo, recommending learning SmallTalk (over
C#!). If you do not *now* know SmallTalk, and you are
not *now* part of the SmallTalk community, how would you
teach yourself SmallTalk in such a way that it would
help you get a job? Perhaps this objection applies to
any language one doesn't already know. Still, one has
only to type "Smalltalk" into
CareerBuilder.com and see how few postings show up;
there may indeed be SmallTalk jobs out there, but there
are manifestly not that many.
