A new lightweight web framework for GNU Smalltalk named Iliad is available for download.

svn co http://bioskop.fr/svn/gst/iliad/trunk iliad

We're working on this framework since a few months now, and we just wanted to share the code with others.

For our personal needs, we wanted to have the following features in the framework:

• standalone stateful widgets
• REST-like applications
• simple API
• easy to setup and deploy (no complicated configuration step)

And it's me again...

I'm currently using seaside to create a new WEB-site and I want you to show something of the configuration I use for the connection between seaside and apache, and for configuring seaside through some lines of code instead doing it through the configuration-dialog of seaside.

Apache is configured in my case as a reverse proxy and I needed some time, to figure out, how both should be configured, to let the seaside generated sites display well. (Even with the halos etc.)

After playing around with seaside a bit, I want you to point you to another short seaside tutorial "HOWTO: Build a simple Seaside website in 30 minutes" under http://smalltalk.cat/blog/Seaside%3A+small+tutorial.

I find it an interesting short tutorial for seaside besides the one on: http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/seaside/tutorial which is also available as a book.

About the first one, I don't want to explain here something, because the explanations on the mentioned WEB-Site are enough (I think).

Today, eventually, this is a simple advertising of the GtkLauncher, but please read on.

I'm new to smalltalk and therefore, I have to learn a lot. Beside the general syntax - which seems not so hard to learn - I need an overview of the object-library which is used.

The gnu-smalltalk web-site is mostly the first place to look for information and there I found a lot of helpfull small code-snipets (like the one, how to communicate with smtp server - or the one, how to semi-automate the generation of getter- and setter methods and all the nice things).

In this new release you have an improved browser with better refactorings,
undo/redo support, file out for namespace, class, category, method.

Two new tools a Sender and an Implementor browser.

You can save the image.

And off course in this release there are a lot of bug fixes ;)
