Pharo is a modern, dynamically-typed, reflective, and pure object-oriented programming language. It offers strong productivity via a fully live programming environment. It supports Xtreme TDD, a powerful development technique that puts live objects at the center of the coding experience. More information at http://www.pharo.org. Pharoers are used to say that programmers will never program the same once they coded seriously in Pharo. Learning Pharo is easy. Software developers learn Pharo in a couple of days. In addition, you can follow an excellent online free lecture available at: http://mooc.pharo.org. This book covers all the key aspects of Pharo: its syntax and its core libraries such as collections and streams. It also takes the user over simple tutorials that present all the aspects of code development with tests and git management with Pharo. In addition, it presents advanced topics such as reflective facilities and meta-level.

Pharo is an open-source, elegant and pure object-oriented language that supports truly immersive and life programming experience. Pharo offers excellent tools such as hot-debuggers and on the fly code update that change the programming experience. More at http: //www.pharo.org. Pharo is a powerful language and IDE that companies use to deliver complex business-effective applications. More at: http: //www.pharo.org/success In Pharo everything is an object, and anything can change at run-time under your fingers. Pharo is written in itself you can explore a complete world. You can feel and talk to objects. But Pharo does not stop there, with Pharo you can improve your object-oriented skills by rediscovering the essence of object-oriented programming. Pharo by Example 50, intended for both students and developers, will guide you gently through the Pharo language and environment by means of a series of examples and exercises.

This book teaches you the key aspects of object-oriented programming: objects, classes, messages, methods and inheritance. This book is different from most books: - it focuses on Test Driven Design from day one. - it uses an extremely well-designed, simple, pure and powerfull object-oriented language, Pharo (http: //www.pharo.org). Why using Pharo? Because Pharo' syntax fits on a postcard and with Pharo you program a world of interacting objects. In Pharo there is nothing else but objects and messages. Even Booleans are true objects.Finally Pharo is fun program and fully interactive. This book is supported by the videos of the professional Pharo MOOC: (http: //mooc.pharo.org). This material guides you step by step in the exciting world of Pharo and object-oriented programming. You can also interact with Pharoers from all over the world using Discord (http: //discord.gg/Sj2rhxn). The authors have more than 20 years experience teaching advanced design and they are part of the core Pharo t

Pharo is a modern, dynamically-typed, reflective, and pure object-oriented programming language - http://www.pharo.org. Pharo inherits and enhances the testing spirit from its ancestor Smalltalk. Indeed, Pharo's SUnit framework is the one of key asset of Agile Development as brought forward by K. Beck in its Test-Driven Development seminal book. But Pharo is much more powerful. It defines and supports eXtreme Test-Driven Development, a.k.a TDD on Steriods. Unique to Pharo, eXtreme Test-Driven Development is a powerful development technique that puts live objects at the center of the coding experience. With its unique flow, it delivers an excellent and unforeseen productivity mixing a fully live programming environment with TDD. In this book you will learn all the elements around TDD and XTDD. You will be empowered and understand why writing tests is not a side effect but a key element of the development process. Once immersed into XTDD you will not program the same way anymore.

"Pharo is a clean, innovative, open-source, live-programming environment. Deep into Pharo is the second volume of a series of books covering Pharo. Whereas the first volume is intended for newcomers, this second volume covers deeper topics. You will learn about Pharo frameworks and libraries such as Glamour, PetitParser, Roassal, FileSystem, Regex, and Socket. You will explore the language with chapters on exceptions, blocks, small integers, and floats. You will discover tools such as profilers, Metacello and Gofer."--Open Textbook Library.

Cover classical algorithms commonly used as artificial intelligence techniques and program agile artificial intelligence applications using Pharo. This book takes a practical approach by presenting the implementation details to illustrate the numerous concepts it explains. Along the way, you’ll learn neural net fundamentals to set you up for practical examples such as the traveling salesman problem and cover genetic algorithms including a fun zoomorphic creature example. Furthermore, Practical Agile AI with Pharo finishes with a data classification application and two game applications including a Pong-like game and a Flappy Bird-like game. This book is informative and fun, giving you source code to play along with. You’ll be able to take this source code and apply it to your own projects. What You Will LearnUse neurons, neural networks, learning theory, and moreWork with genetic algorithms Incorporate neural network principles when working towards neuroevolution Include neural network fundamentals when building three Pharo-based applications Who This Book Is For Coders and data scientists who are experienced programmers and have at least some prior experience with AI or deep learning. They may be new to Pharo programming, but some prior experience with it would be helpful.

"Enterprise Pharo is the third volume of the series, following Pharo by Example and Deep into Pharo. It covers enterprise libraries and frameworks, and in particular those useful for doing web development. The book is structured in five parts. The first part talks about simple web applications, starting with a minimal web application in chapter 1 on Teapot and then a tutorial on building a more complete web application in chapter 2. Part two deals with HTTP support in Pharo, talking about character encoding in chapter 3, about using Pharo as an HTTP Client (chapter 4) and server (chapter 5), and about using WebSockets (chapter 6). In the third part we discuss the handling of data for the application. Firstly we treat data that is in the form of comma-separated values (CSV) in chapter 7. Secondly and thirdly, we treat JSON (chapter 8) and its Smalltalk counterpart STON (chapter 9). Fourthly, serialization and deserialization of object graphs with Fuel is treated in chapter 10. Lastly, we discuss the Voyage persistence framework and persisting to MongoDB databases in chapter 11. Part four deals with the presentation layer. Chapter 12 shows how to use Mustache templates in Pharo, and chapter 13 talks about programmatic generation of CSS files. The documentation of applications could be written in Pillar, which is presented in chapter 14. How to generate PDF files from the application with Artefact is shown in chapter 15. The fifth part deals with deploying the web application. This is explained in chapter 16 that talks not only about how to build and run the application, but also other important topics like monitoring."--Open Textbook Library
