Hi all,
OSCON is O'Reilly's annual Open Source Conference in Portland, Oregon. I did a Seaside talk there last year, which was great fun, and this year you'll note that Seaside is explicitly mentioned in the Call for Participation. It's a great chance to show off what we're all working on to a much wider audience than usual. I'd love to see some Seaside talks on the schedule this year, so if anyone has any ideas at all for sessions, please do apply. The Call for Participation is attached below.

I'd participate in a fundraiser for that, is ESUG or the Squeak Foundation organized one.

It communicates btter the fact that there's a community behind Squeak and Seaside.

I'm still a big big newbie with Seaside, but I'm going to submit
something about Seaside, Rails, and the whole idea of "href considered harmful." I actually did a ten-minute version today as a screencast: http://www.gilesbowkett.com/screencasts/seaside_rails.mov -- Giles Bowkett http://www.gilesgoatboy.org http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com http://gilesgoatboy.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |
Hi Giles,
I really enjoyed your webcast movie. I thought it was excellent. I admire how you had such great editing command over the images and were able to make them work with what you were saying so well. When I do a webcast, I just do one take, no editing, and all facing the desktop. Also the things you had to say about RoR were great for me, because I don't know anything about that language, and so it was great to see a comparison of the two. The only other place I've seen something similar is in Bruce Tate's O'Reilly book "Beyond Java", which is a fun, short read comparing RoR to ...everything. It's where I heard about Seaside. I hope your application for a presentation at OSCON meets with success.

I hope you get to make a presentation at OSCON. In any case, if the screencast gets good play, it'll still be a big PR boost. In the conclusion you have Seaside trumps Rails (in some things), and vice versa. I'd be curious to know where you think Rails is "better". Is it better out-of-box experience, better documentation, easier RDB hookup, more ready made components, etc.? Again, thanks for this screencast; it really gives me the sense that Seaside is gaining traction and ready for take-off. -- Yanni Chiu _______________________________________________ Seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

For sure -- glad everybody liked it so much. I got the idea from the Rails screencasts, there's a ton of effort on the marketing side with Rails, and of course DHH (Rails' creator) works for a firm with roots in graphic design. In terms of Rails, one thing is the marketing and documentation, it's a lot easier for a newbie to hit the ground running. Also the Unix interaction, relational databases, that often makes life more practical. Gemstone might be better but it's also more obscure. Rails has one huge weakness, though, which is that they make things **too** easy for newbies. So there's a lot of people in that community who aren't really programmers, and the result is a lot of messy mistakes with a very elegant framework. Like shooting yourself in the foot with an unusually beautiful gun. And there are also a lot of people who came to Rails from PHP. They discover reflection and lambda for the first time and they go a little nuts with it. (Then again I'm as guilty of that as any Rails n00b.) Anyway -- I think the "vs" attitude isn't the way to go, I definitely like having both frameworks in my bag of tricks. -- Giles Bowkett http://www.gilesgoatboy.org http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com http://gilesgoatboy.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

Since you've got lots more Rails knowledge, I was keen to know whether there was a major technical advantage that Rails had, that could be added to Seaside - which, only a few people could do. But it seems that what you see lacking can be solved by more casual contributors. I think that with enough people using Seaside, some of the current dificiencies will eventually be addressed. I'd like to see it all pan out like so: 1. Lots of people adopt a Seaside solution. 2. A few are gifted marketers, who spread the word. 3. Some are gifted writers, who add to the growing pool of documentation, tutorials, etc. 4. Some are natural editors, who gather the available documentation, and make it more accessible. 5. Some are tinkerers, who fix up the out-of-box experience. 6. Some are builders, who add to the list of ready made solutions. (E.g. portable RDB access would be nice to have.) 7. A few will learn and improve upon the internals of Seaside, or create significant new frameworks. IMHO, Seaside is doing well with (7), pretty good with (6), and gathering steam with (3) and (2). _______________________________________________ Seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

Hi Giles,
I'm putting together a small Smalltalk magazine called "Parasol" quarterly. I'd like you to write 800-words on your webcast. "Parasol" quarterly, "Internet Smalltalk Coding", would like an article from you articulating in print what you said in video. I'm particularly interested in the href/goto statements you made. The hour's effort you put into writing this piece will repay itself many times over, as the magazine (a mere 12-pages to start) will be distributed at the Smalltalk Solutions/Linux World conference in April. Write the article, Giles. Strike one against the empire.

I think Giles screencast is great and it is a excellent step forward
in the marketing of Seaside. As Giles said, Rails has a company with a lot of background in usability and design, called 37signals behind much of what they do, particularly web site design. I also have a little constructive comment to make. I think the screencast has more value judgements than concrete examples. I don't even know if that is the proper way to go on a screencast to be shown to complete Seaside neophytes on our evangelic mission :) But, IMHO, I would put more beans in the soup.
