"Mastering Pharo: Elegant Code with Object-Centric Tools" is an in-depth technical guide for software engineers and architects striving to harness the full power of Pharo-a modern, pure object-oriented environment. This book begins with foundational principles, exploring the unique live image, virtual machine internals, project isolation strategies, and version control best practices that distinguish Pharo from other development ecosystems. Through clear explanations and practical advice, readers gain fluency in navigating and shaping their environment with moldable tools, vital for agile and reproducible software evolution. Building on these foundations, the book delves into advanced object-oriented programming idioms, supporting the design and maintenance of expressive, modular systems. Readers discover how to craft robust models using inheritance, traits, mixins, and reflective programming techniques, while internalizing patterns and reactive paradigms specific to Pharo's idioms. Further chapters equip professionals with expertise in leveraging playground-driven development, custom inspectors, advanced debugging-including time travel and event analysis-and dynamic diagnostics, ensuring code quality and maintainability at every stage. Finally, "Mastering Pharo" unlocks the potential of metaprogramming, user interface construction, and modern application deployment. The text covers everything from building rich user interfaces with Morphic and Spec2, to creating reactive web applications, and achieving concurrency with Pharo's lightweight processes and event-driven designs. Developers will also find practical guidance on performance tuning, interfacing with native code, continuous integration pipelines, and long-term image maintenance, establishing this book as the definitive companion for mastering elegant, sustainable, and high-performance Pharo software.
