Thanks for the reference, I just ordered a copy. I have been using Pharo lately and I need a brush up on good coding practices.

The linked article is good and surprised me, especially using 'define' inside functions instead of 'let'.

A pre-publication version http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/BestSmalltalkPract... is in Stéphane Ducasse's free collection of old Smalltak books http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/ , though not linked from that page for some reason.
This has also surprised me. And it seems the main reason is that of indentation. I do not feel this is enough reason to use 'define' instead of 'let'.
