Or explore online:

Pick a problem you care about

Pick a problem you care about. Pick a problem you care about. We cannot stress this enough.

Why? Because the essence of Moldable Development is about adapting the environment to match the context. If you do not have a deep context, you cannot evaluate what contextual tools do for you. Pick a problem you care about.

What kind of problems? There can be many. Out of the box, you can explore:

  • Explore a GraphQL or REST API
  • Analyze unknown data
  • Discover and model a domain
  • Assess an existing system
  • Document a system
  • Build system specific editors

Read about more examples in the built-in book.

Go beyond the technology

Glamorous Toolkit is an environment that shows how the experience of programming can be, but ultimately it's still just a piece of technology. Moldable Development introduces a new feedback loop that has far reaching consequences, both on the technical and the business level.

Glamorous Toolkit and Pharo
