Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
Ramon Leon explains why he likes Seaside - and Smalltalk - so much:
Seaside lets me work in Smalltalk, at every level, all the way from programmatic generation of the HTML and Javascript to configuration of the application. No HTML, XML, XSLT, or SQL is necessary to build a web application, just simple, pure Smalltalk. Programming’s never been more fun!
I do most of the work for this server in Smalltalk, too. It's a Web Toolkit (VW) app server rather than Seaside, but I implement nearly everything at the Smalltalk level. Sure, I have CSS and HTML pages, but those are templates, and I don't really spend much time on them. It is a real pleasure to be dealing with Smalltalk code all the way down :)
