isLoop 2024: International School on Live Object-Oriented Programming
5-9 August 2024 - Montpellier, France
We are happy to announce that once again, Pharo Consortium is organizing an international cost-free summer school on live object-oriented programming. You will learn about the key mechanisms and the essence of live programming and object-oriented design. Whether you are a beginner or an expert programmer, this school will be a unique immersive experience that will teach you to look at programming like you never did before. Our courses are built on more than 60 years of expert teaching object-oriented design.
Pay attention the places are limited because this is a cool summer school in a cool place.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us at rf.daric@vestiaz.rdnaskelo or rf.airni@essacud.enahpets

Stéphane Ducasse
I'm an expert in object design, object language design, reflective programming, and the maintenance and evolution of large applications (visualization, metrics, meta-modeling). My work on traits has been introduced in AmbientTalk, Slate, Pharo, Perl-6, PHP 5.4 and Squeak. They have been ported to JavaScript. It has influenced the Scala an Fortress languages.
I'm one of the founders of Pharo. I head its industry consortium http://consortium.pharo.org. I'm one of the designers of Moose, an analysis platform. I regularly work with companies such as Arolla, Berger-Levrault, Thales, Framatome, Siemens, CIM, Worldline to solve their challenges.

Oleksandr Zaitsev
I am a computer science researcher at CIRAD - a French agricultural research and international cooperation organization working for the sustainable development of tropical and Mediterranean regions. I work on software engineering and AI techniques for participatory agent-based modelling and serious games. In 2022, I defended my PhD at Inria Lille; my thesis was about data mining-based tools to support software evolution.
I contribute to many open-source projecs (Pharo, DataFrame, PolyMath, pharo-ai). I am currently the lead developer of the Cormas modelling platform.
