RobertS Beyond HTML5 - generating Curl web content with Smalltalk web frameworks

This morning finally got a modified version of HttpView2 to load into Pharo. It then failed to respond in localhost due to two missing methods in ByteString (they stubbed in fine ) so at the moment all is running in the demo examples except the Painter ( that was true in Squeak as well - but I have coded my own to Paint Curl into a Canvas there so that should fileIn fine for Pharo.) Now to tackle generating Curl web content in Iliad in Pharo ( and if that bogs down I have a Seaside and Aida to… Continue

RobertS the woes of Msys and Gnu Smalltalk in the slouch towards the iliad

The make croaked on an undefined symbol for OpenGL After a 45 minute configure fest you would think that some son-of-autoconf would have detected that GL_BLEND_COLOR_EXT is not defined anywhere ...

I went back to Windows and had no end of grief with VisualWorks Store (nothing new there - in that respect Smalltalk other than VSE with… Continue

RobertS The separation of markup from styles as a Seaside strategy: an idea

My idea is to generate Curl markup+code-with-macros instead of HTML-markup Curl is both declarative and destructive-assignment Curl can be non-typed and evolve to typed Curl is markup but Curl is also macros and iterators and first-class anonymous functions and liver object inspection and live code So why not have a Seaside which does Curl instead of HTML? (www.curl.com not cURL as in haxx.de) Why? Because now you get 2 debuggers: the one in Smalltalk on the server and the other the excellent… Continue
