Today, on my way home from the snowy mountains in Glarus, I met Philippe for a quick Seaside meeting. At a well known American coffee chain near the train station of Zurich we took over two tables. As usual the internet connection was much better than the coffee.
Two recent comments in the Squeak mailing-list on Seaside vs. traditional web frameworks state:
The Cmsbox won the first price Master of Swiss Web 2008 in the Best of Swiss Web competition. The Cmsbox 2.0 is powered by Squeak, Seaside and Scriptaculous.
Seaside has a new issue tracker. The announcement was posted on the Seaside mailing-lists. Report your feature requests and bug reports now!
Philippe Marschall pointed me to the Arc Challenge:
James Robertson put the video of my (german) talk at OOP 2008 online. There is also an audio version available. The talk is entitled Seaside — Web development as you like it and it is definitely not the same I gave last year at ESUG. They are both about Seaside though.
Coderspiel mentions Seaside in the article The right tool for the slob:
ERCIM published a new special issue called The Future Web. The issue also contains a short article about Seaside by Alexandre Bergel, Stéphane Ducasse and myself: Seaside — Advanced Composition and Control Flow for Dynamic Web Applications.
I was invited to give a talk about Seaside Wednesday, January 23rd at OOP in Munich, Germany. My presentation is scheduled as part of a special event called Experience Smalltalk at the Seaside. You find some more information on the website of the conference in english or german. Among other things, I will be talking about why Seaside is secure by default. Hope to see you there.
Last Thursday Philippe and I met to finally push the development of Seaside 2.9. Up to that day, there were only some random commits and we decided that we need to meet in person to get the whole thing started. Contrary to popular belief we neither live nor work at the same place.
