Hi, From what I know: Morphic is the low level layer behind GUI in Pharo. Since this is low level there is usually some framework on top for users to use. Spec is a framework to build GUI. Brick is a work in progress. There is a project call Bloc that will replace Morphic in the future. Brick is a layer on top of Bloc to build widgets on top of Bloc. Glamour is good to use if you work a lot with some flux of data. Each elements of a Glamour panel will be feed by data from another element. It is good to use when you have, for example, elements to update on a list selection or thing like that. I hope this will help you to make your choice. So Morphic will vanish in few years. Bloc and brick will replace it. I think there is a Moose book with a Glamour chapter. And the community is writing a book on spec I think. > > ----- > Brad Selfridge > -- > View this message in context: > http://forum.world.st/Spec-vs-Brick-vs-Glamour-vs-Morphic-vs-WTF-tp4905178.html > Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -- Cyril Ferlicot http://www.synectique.eu 165 Avenue Bretagne Lille 59000 France
