Well... it is a book worth reading, but also is a book worth having :) Pharo By Example and Pharo for the Enterprise are definitely more current, and will probably provide you with more useful content. But that depends on what is your purpose. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo 2014-09-16 15:58 GM

In the word “submorph” there are two important parts. “sub” and “morph”. Roassal support subelements, but only one morph is around, the trachel morph that contains all the drawing. Why staying in Morphic? Morphic does not scale well, does not have layout, and morphs are hardly composable with ot
