The formerly electronic only (PDF) book "Dynamic Development with Seaside" can now be bought in softcover, via Lulu:
A print-on-demand, softcover copy of the book "Dynamic Web Development with Seaside" is available from Lulu. The printed book is identical with the online and the PDF version of the book.
Cincom helped sponsor the book :)

This week's podcast is a chat with Tudor Girba, one of the driving forces behind the Glamour project. To get an idea as to what Glamour is, here's Tudor's description:
Browsers are specific of user interfaces focused on exposing and manipulating data, and Glamour is a Smalltalk-based engine for building such browsers. Approached traditionally, building browsers becomes expensive. Glamour's abstractions lowers this cost significantly and brings the power of browsers in the hands of every Smalltalk programmer.
Glamour was mainly developed by Philipp Bunge, Tudor Girba, Lukas Renggli with contributions from Jorge Ressia and David Roethlisberger. Glamour is currently built in Pharo, it is available under the MIT license, and it is an important part of the Moose analysis platform.
More information about it can be found on the official page.

Dave Buck will be teaching a Smalltalk class via the net at the end of March:
At the end of March, Simberon will be delivering an instructor-led web-delivered course on Refactoring Object Oriented Design in Smalltalk. This course is 4 days long from March 29th to April 1st. We'll be web-casting the course allowing you to take the course without travelling. Lectures start at 11:00am EST and 3:00pm EST allowing you to attend the course fairly conveniently in any North American time zone. Participants can ask questions through a chat channel or by e-mail.
The last time I left the Facebook interface, it required a web browser for part of the login process; I wasn't really happy with that. So this morning I took a look at automating that. I made a fair bit of progress, but when I post the login form, it simply times out. My earlier attempts were failing due to a lack of cookies; that was simply a matter of caching them on the initial request, so that the client would go ahead and submit them on subsequent sends.
Now I'm not getting that error; instead, my login POST is timing out. Progress, but I'm not there yet...

The Cincom Smalltalk team is heading to Europe next week - we'll be in London on Tuesday, and Paris on Thursday. We'll be talking about what Smalltalk does now, and where it's headed - we'll have the Smalltalk management team and some engineering staff on hand to answer your questions. |
Where will we be? You'll need to register for the events to get location details. I'll be putting the location details on my "where in the world" page early next week, so you can also just check back here then. We'll see you there!

Today's screencast looks at a small annoyance in the UI building tools - the fact that by default, they'll save code into the "none" package. Today we'll look at a work around for that.
