Topic:
The Seaside Web-Application Framework
Seaside is a highly productive Smalltalk environment for building and deploying highly interactive web-applications. The talk will explain Seaside's key characteristics, which are: html generation framework, call/answer, and components. These features combine to abstract away the mundane details of the HTTP protocol, so the developer can concentrate on the business function.
We will go through the simple steps required to create a new application, illustrate how the debugging process is simple and interactive. We will look at some sample applications which connect to a PostgreSQL database (or maybe we can try to develop one on-the-fly).
