Seaside is the open source framework of choice for developing sophisticated and dynamic web applications. Seaside uses the power of objects to master the web. With Seaside web applications is as simple as building desktop applications. Seaside lets you build highly dynamic and interactive web applications.

Seaside supports agile development through interactive debugging and unit testing. Seaside is based on Smalltalk, a proven and robust language implemented by different vendors. Seaside is now available for all the major Smalltalk including Pharo, Squeak, GNU Smalltalk, Cincom Smalltalk, GemStone Smalltalk, and VA Smalltalk.

Dynamic Web Development with Seaside, intended for developers, will present the core of Seaside as well as advanced features such as Web 2.0 support and deployment. In this book you will learn how to design your own components and glue them together to build and deploy powerful and reusable web applications.

We are making this online book available to you for free through Square Bracket Associates. You can obtain a PDF, or a print-on-demand, softcover copy from Lulu. We wish to thank the European Smalltalk User Group, Inceptive.be, Cincom Systems, GemStone Systems Inc., and Instantiations for sponsoring this book.

I really like someone writing a book on Seaside, many people might not be aware of it, and many of the people who call themselves programmer have never heard of Smalltalk, and it is one of the beautiful language you can come around, pity it's not too famous, and people who know about it make comments like, 'eeeeww that's so slow' or 'can i do anything with it except printing 'hello world!'' because they haven't played with it for long.

 

Any serious smalltalker would protest, the authors should be give due credit for their work, which might help to boost Smalltalk's fanfare. Kudos guys, keep up the work, and who knows we might revive the passion for good!

As a web developer I'm interested to look around the interactive and effective sites implementation technologies.

Kudos to the authors, this book should get anyone excited about Seaside and its capabilities. As an old Smalltalker, I've been dabbling in Seaside in Squeak on and off since I heard of it, tinkered around with a few little half-baked projects, but never really dared to tackle anything useful since I only had snippets and partial tutorials to go by... I didn't really "get it" and was too lazy to study the source in detail. This book finally has everything, from the basics and the background info to workable examples of many aspects of Seaside. It's both one huge tutorial and a great reference for when I do get around to tackling a larger project.

 

As a writer, I'm the sort of reader who can't read past a typo or grammatical error, so I took the liberty of suggesting corrections on my way through the book over the past few weeks. I can be quite pedantic and perfectionist, so I apologise for the flood of comments - it's just because I'm excited about Seaside's possibilities and want this book to succeed.

 

Cheers,

Amos
