## The Moldable Development Environment

[Glamorous Toolkit](https://gtoolkit.com) is the Moldable Development environment. It empowers you to make systems explainable through experiences tailored for each problem.

## Get started

### Take a tour

Glamorous Toolkit was developed following Moldable Development, and it offers extensive opportunities to learn about itself. Start with a tour through the built-in book to get an overview of the breadth of possibilities.

Or explore online:

- [Read the book](https://book.gtoolkit.com).

- [Watch GT in 7' video series](https://youtu.be/-vFwfwy5WZA?list=PLfrs5bwLJOoAaHvQGSLeKpHWmFuZXPUTJ).

### Pick a problem you care about

Pick a problem you care about. Pick a problem you care about. We cannot stress this enough.

Why? Because the essence of Moldable Development is about adapting the environment to match the context. If you do not have a deep context, you cannot evaluate what contextual tools do for you. Pick a problem you care about.

What kind of problems? There can be many. Out of the box, you can explore:

- Explore a GraphQL or REST API

- Analyze unknown data

- Discover and model a domain

- Assess an existing system

- Document a system

- Build system specific editors

Read about more examples in the built-in book.

### Go beyond the technology

Glamorous Toolkit is an environment that shows how the experience of programming can be, but ultimately it's still just a piece of technology. Moldable Development introduces a new feedback loop that has far reaching consequences, both on the technical and the business level.

## Glamorous Toolkit and Pharo

Glamorous Toolkit is built in [Pharo](https://pharo.org), and it enables people to work with Pharo systems. Nevertheless, the goal of Glamorous Toolkit is distinct from that of Pharo and so is its realization.
