Pharo is a new simple and powerful programming language that gives you
total control over your programming experience. It is a pure
object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment (think IDE
and OS rolled into one). It is focused on simplicity and immediate feedback
at any moment of your development: developping, testing, debugging. Even in
production environments, you will never be stuck in compiling and deploying
steps again!

Pharo is yours: Pharo is made by an incredible community, with more than 80
contributors for the last revision of the platform and hundreds of people
contributing constantly with frameworks and libraries.

== Pharo Days ==

Start the year in the right spirit by joining the Pharo community for the
Pharo Days 2015 on Thursday January 29 and Friday January 30 at INRIA,
Lille, France. Meet your online colleagues, programmers and hackers in real
life and experience how much you can pick up in just two days. Learn about
key technologies, talk to core developers and other users, pair program and
contribute to Pharo. Have fun and enjoy yourself.

Each day has a similar schedule. The morning consists of a handful of
twenty minute tech talks, the afternoon is a coding sprint and open pair
programming workspace. There will be a general assembly of both the Pharo
Consortium and the Pharo Association. On the first days there will be a
parallel Getting Started with Pharo tutorial in the afternoon.

The very first Pharo conference took place in Annecy in February 2011. In
May 2012 the second Pharo Conference took place, over two days, in Lille.
It was a huge success, with about 60 people participating. It had a very
positive effect on the community and on those who participated. In April
2013 there was a third well attended Pharo Conference in Bern. In June
2013, there was also a successful Web specific Pharo one-day event in
Lille. Join us again this time.
