After the first announcement at ESUG 2009, we are proud to present the
release of the free online book Dynamic Web Development with Seaside http://book.seaside.st/ The book is written in the Pier content management system using the Pier book publishing engine. This allows us to collaboratively edit the contents and generate different output formats automatically. We will soon offer a PDF and a printed version, but first we have to iron out some of the remaining issues. Over the past years the book got reviewed and revised several times. We want to thank all the persons who helped us: Torsten Bergmann, Damien Cassou, Tom Krisch, Philippe Marshall, Ruben Schempp, Roger Whitney, Julian Fitzell, and Michael Davies carefully reviewed the book and provided valuable feedback. Martin J. Laubach for his Sudoku code. Ramon Leon for letting us using his blog ideas and SandStoneDB, Chris Muller for Magma. Jeff Dorst provided generous financial support for supporting student text reading. Markus Gaelli for brainstorming on the book title. Samuel Morello for designing the cover. Michael Davies is currently helping us getting things ready for print. And you can help us too by writing down your findings at the bottom of each page. Also, if you want to contribute a missing chapter or support the translation of the book please get in touch with us. We wish to thank the European Smalltalk User Group (ESUG) and inceptive.be for sponsoring this book. We are looking for additional sponsors. If you are interested, please contact us. If you are a publisher and interested in publishing this material, please let us know. Please distribute this message widely. Cheers, Stef & Lukas & David & Rick About the authors: - Stéphane Ducasse is the author of a couple of books on Smalltalk. - Lukas Renggli is core developer of Seaside and Smalltalk consultant. - David C. Shaffer is Seaside consultant and CS teacher. - Rick Zaccone is CS teacher. |

This is fantastic. One of the main things keeping me from selling all of the people I work with up on Seaside was that the documentation was sparse. This is really good.
Thank you for putting this on the web. You'll let us know as soon as there's a print version we can buy, right?

I
agree. Something that should be shown early in the book chapters is the
Halo feature, the the icons and tehe R/S buttonts, this helps a lot in
understanding the ideas underneat Seaside design.

You're right though that this could be touched on earlier. I've updated the Pharo/Squeak section to make an earlier reference to that section. Cheers, Michael |

Congratulations! This looks great!
In case this is a simple Pier setting ... you may want to take a look at how the online Haskell book is set up. It allows comments on the level of every paragraph, and it seems to have worked quite well (in terms of contributed comments & suggestions). http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/why-functional-programming-why-haskell.html A jQuery section might be a good idea in some updated version. - Sophie On 2009-09-10 07:06:37 -0500, Lukas Renggli <[hidden email]> said: > After the first announcement at ESUG 2009, we are proud to present the > release of the free online book > > Dynamic Web Development with Seaside > http://book.seaside.st/ > > The book is written in the Pier content management system using the > Pier book publishing engine.
