To some people Glamorous Toolkit is a Pharo environment. To others it’s a
knowledge management system. Others might see a code analysis platform, a
data visualization or an API browsing tool. Yet others see the graphical
stack with its interactive editors. Glamorous Toolkit is all of these. But
it’s really also none of these. These are merely examples of the many forms
the environment can be molded to. And there can be many more. Glamorous
Toolkit is primarily an environment that makes it possible to create many
experiences seamlessly and contextually. This then leads to a new way of
programming that we call Moldable Development.

Tudor Gîrba is a software environmentalist and the CEO of feenk.com (
http://feenk.com/ ) where he works with an amazing team to make the inside
of systems explainable. Much of the work is embodied in Glamorous Toolkit (
gtoolkit.com), a novel environment that enables moldable development.

This will be an online meeting from home.
