Re: Anybody see this?

There are a couple good solutions I've found lately.

ActiveScaffold for Ruby on Rails is great for just getting CRUD happening - I used it to avoid writing a LOT of admin UI on a recent project.

I imagine and I still think that this is cruelly missing in Seaside.

SandstoneDb written by Ramon Leon could be a solution for small web projects :

I do not ask the seaside team to work on that but as a community we could really get something.
Right now for such kind of applications people should go to ruby -- sounds bad to me.

Django has "the admin" module - also really amazing as an easy to customize admin solution (but not from the browser).

Good end to end solutions are appearing for data editing - but not so much for more conventional application widgetry with layout management and such.

       edit

       output report

for really stupid items.
I see this as a reccurring patterns.

I imagine the same for
       tabbed
       menu
       navigation

I could release the code for the "Seaside Builder", which should be
named "SmallFaces Builder", only if there's someone interested in
improving what's done (which is ugly). I don't know how many of you
has seen the SF video, but it showed some of the capabilities of the
Atlas video, of course, among other things, they had a nicer UI and
the layout specifications apparently solved, I don't know if they use
a constraint solver, which is the right way to work that kind of
things.

The whole idea of SF is to provide support for multiple frameworks
(XForms, XUL, Aida, Seaside, etc), and support for higher level
widgets, so we work now in that direction, the builder was done in our
spare time, so it's like an experiment. When I saw the SeaBreeze video
I thought the SFBuilder had no reason to live, but anyway if you want
it, just ask me ;)

Re: Anybody see this?

Sean Malloy
I played with Cappuccino late last year. At that time the
"Objective-J" implementation was riddled with bugs, creating a
"simple" application was a nightmare, and it ran like utter shit. To
deploy anything you ran it through a compiler and uploaded the .j
files (or whatever it was). PS good luck debugging it.

Sure the demos they put together are fancy, but go write an
application in it and you quickly start running into the awful parts.
The learning curve is huge, and what you get out of it can be achieved
in (much) less code by simply using jquery.

I'll stick with Seaside/Gemstone.
