About Volume Two
Pharo is a modern open-source development environment for the classic Smalltalk-80 programming language. Despite being the first purely object-oriented language and environment, Smalltalk is in many ways still far ahead of its successors in promoting a vision of an environment where everything is an object, and anything can change at run-time.
Pharo by Example 2 is going to explore deeper topics than Pharo by Example (volume one).
Topics
You will learn about Pharo frameworks: Glamour, Mondrian, and Omnibrowser.
We will explore language with chapters on: Exceptions, Block, smallintegers, and floats.
Libraries such as Regex, Socket, FileSystem, PetitParser or Setting are presented.
Tools such as: Profilers, Metacello, Gofer, Monticello are explained in depth.
