Dr. Stéphane Ducasse

Over the years I wrote the following books. I enjoyed it even if this is always more time consuming than what we would like. I also really have lot of fun writing columns because this is a completely different exercises than scientific papers.

For the moment I did not add the most recent books since you have find them at http://books.pharo.org/.
