SmallFaces, a widget toolkit for Seaside

Burella Juan M.
Dear list, 

                Finally you can download SmallFaces, a widget toolkit for Seaside. By installing SmallFaces you can use in your Seaside applications common GUI objects as TextFields, Buttons, ListBox, CheckBox, CheckBoxGroup, RadioButton, RadioButtonGroup, etc. 

The crucial benefit is getting rid of the tag idea, so basically you have widget objects for the web, for which can configure visual aspects (layout, appearance) and  AJAX events (using SASE).

Web applications are growing every day, and with the explosion of the AJAX technology few years ago, the web trends move towards desktop-like applications, making a fuzzy limit between both. Those who experienced pure desktop GUI developement (and believe the markup way to do things is fine for simple user interfaces, but do not scale very well when complex applications come), will feel the SmallFaces API a second nature. 

See the following page at the Squeak swiki for instructions http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6088

Download and Installation Info:

Prerequisites:

1. Seaside and Scriptaculous
2. Phantasia (CSS) package from Monticello adding the following repository:

MCHttpRepository
    location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Phantasia'

3. Load SmallFaces-bll.1.mcz package from Monticello adding the following repository:


MCHttpRepository
    location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/SmallFaces'
    user: ''

4. To see useful examples load SmallFacesExamples-bll.1.mcz package
