I have some pictures to share for people that missed the London Geek Nights with the title Seaside: The Revenge of Smalltalk last Monday. The following shot was taken shortly before I started with my presentation, an introduction to the basic concepts of Seaside. The slides are available online.
This is during the following talk of Michel Bany. He presented some of the commercial Seaside systems he has been working on.
Thanks go to ThoughWorks for making this event possible and to Cincom for sponsoring my flight to London.
We just announced Seaside 2.8.4, the fourth maintenance release for Seaside 2.8.
Again this release is available as a one-click image that comes with the latest code for Seaside, Scriptaculous, RsRss, Comet, Magritte, Pier and various other development tools pre-loaded. The novelty of the one-click image is that it is based on the latest Pharo core image and that it requires a new closure VM to run.
In the meantime the work on Seaside 2.9 continues.
In the past weeks Seaside has been mentioned several times in the context of application development for the iPhone.
- John McIntosh announced two Seaside applications that are available for sale on the app store. In both cases the Squeak VM is running natively on the iPhone serving pages to a web browser that is displayed on the screen. Also announced, but not yet available, is a Pier system that can serve pages from any iPhone.
- Jérôme Layat announced an iPhone On Line Planning Poker that makes use of the Comet, Scriptaculous and iSea packages. Of course the application also runs in any other web browser, not just in Safari on the iPhone.
This list is to be continued ...
I submitted a simple extension of the SUnit Test Runner to the Pharo Inbox. It accurately determines the test coverage of a selected package. For the latest versions of Magritte and Pier I get the following results:
Gmail considers some of its own mail from Google Code as spam and tags it accordingly. What does this tell us?
