Learning Web Development with Seaside
- moe 17y agoThe definitive guide to minimizing mindshare for your project: Offer documentation as PDF only.
- loganfrederick 17y agoI don't think their site makes clear why using Smalltalk to teach web development solves any problems. The PDF halfway through their tutorial series on Smalltalk explains Seaside as a "framework" that addresses some of what I'd consider smaller annoyances in development (One example they offer is the ability to add <em> tags to every occurrence of specific words in a file. Such tools might be of use to a small audience, but I'm not sure anyone would want to learn web coding in such a roundabout way. Open Wordpad, go to W3Schools and practice an (X)HTML tutorial. Maybe consider Seaside once you've practiced the basics.
- Elepsis 17y agoI think the headline here is somewhat misleading, based on the other responses thus far. It's not intending to teach web development using Seaside as the tool; rather, it's a tutorial on how to develop Seaside web apps. And while the fact that it's presented in PDFs is a little bit annoying, I'm about halfway through the tutorials and they're rather well written and expose a lot of features in Seaside and Smalltalk as a whole. As far as "zero to being able to make something interesting" guides go, this is one of the better ones I've encountered.
