I have decided to take a closer look at Seaside.
I plan to write some application with it to learn Smalltalk and at the
same time see if Seaside can be my web application server of the
future. My problem now is figuring out which version of Smalltalk I
should use for this. My two candidates right now are Cincom VisualWorks and Squeak. I want cross platform capabilities, so Dolphin and Cincom's Object Studio are out. If I missed any important candidate please let me know.
VisualWorks
is a commercial product, but you can download a non-commercial version
that includes everything. VW is intended for business use, so you get a
lot of tools for stuff like database access and COM support. It comes
with excellent documentation and includes first rate development tools.
Squeak is a free product and has an active user community, it is also
the environment on which Seaside was developed.
I have downloaded both of these environments and will post some of my experiences with them here.
