Pharo is a clean, innovative, open-source, live-programming environment. Deep into Pharo is the second volume of a series of books covering Pharo. Whereas the first volume is intended for newcomers, this second volume covers deeper topics. You will learn about Pharo frameworks and libraries such as Glamour, PetitParser, Roassal, FileSystem, Regex, and Socket. You will explore the language with chapters on exceptions, blocks, small integers, and floats.
