Smalltalk Powered iPhone Apps

January 23, 2010 13:02:18.440

The Easier Way:

JQTouchis a jQuery plugin for mobile web development, optimized for the iPhone and iPod touch. Among the other alternatives, this one has a nice design and uses the popular jQuery framework. In this post, I am reporting about my efforts to use this library from Seasidewhich is a component-based Web application framework for Smalltalk. It has great support for jQuery in the sense that the developer is presented with an elegant abstraction layer to do all the fancy selection and Ajax stuff.

The code is in the public store repository, so you can try it out yourself - follow the link to see a screen capture of an app running (via the browser, obviously) on the iPhone.

Speaking of Superpowers

January 22, 2010 0:12:27.377

Michael just explained how to create new return semantics from a BlockClosure in Smalltalk - or, to use his explanation:

Of course, the usual pat on Smalltalk's back is required here - we've just done some very simple stack manipulation, extended a kernel class and all without breaking a sweat to give ourselves a completely new control structure.
