seaside

The free Seaside book and also the free Pharo by Example book are great ways to learn MVC.

In the medium distance is Cockenzie, which is on the seaside and visible from miles around.

One should also note that Seaside is likely the direct inspiration for Arc's (i.e.

I haven't built one myself, but I know that the Seaside framework comes with a built-in memory profiler.

I doubt Seaside and GNU Smalltalk have much in common...one being a framework and the other a smalltalk environment.

I find it simpler to grasp than seaside because there are less things to understand at the same time.

Anyway, I just downloaded a Pharo + Seaside installer, and may play with it while visiting family next week.

I do wish to continue with GNU Smalltalk and maybe not so much Pharo, because Seaside is very appealing.

It was developed using the Seaside framework which has clean support for continuations.

I found the abstractions Seaside provides (continuations and components) to be much more powerful than what the other frameworks gave me.

If I wanted to run the same Seaside infrastructure as these dudes (there is a fork of Seaside included in GNU Smalltalk from the start), would it collapse under loads Pharo's CogVM can handle?

I didn't really get oop until I learned Smalltalk, working through this book, and subsequently through the Seaside one, was a revelation.

Seaside is worth checking out simply for how differently it does things (the author describes it as a "heterodox" framework).

Going through Pharo By Example, and especially the similar book "Dynamic Web Development with Seaside"[0] (a smalltalk web framework), really helped me to understand many concepts in OOP.

"The Wikipedia article mentions some web frameworks, but the Pharo website shows screenshots of what appear to be desktop GUI applications (or maybe data visualizations running inside the IDE, a la R with RStudio?)." There is a web framework which quite popular and actively developed Seaside that allow you to use javascript, html and the usual suspect.

Seaside (Smalltalk web framework) provides something similar to this, where you can access the Smalltalk browser (i.e.

Beyond those three, several exotic choices exist such as Smalltalk/Seaside or PLT Scheme.

Seaside is a refreshing change from the Rails/Django/Pylons style frameworks.
