Something like: The Seaside framework allows small teams to build (complex) web applications fast. It is interesting for startups needing: - small time-to-market; - complex functionality; - extreme short development and deployment cycles. It is not optimal for startups having: - extreme scalability or (real time) performance requirements; - existing libraries already covering most needed functionality. For those startups Seaside can be suitable for proof of concepts. Stephan

The Weekly Squeak Summary No. 23: Jan 31 - Feb 27, 2011
by Michael Haupt 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Dear Squeakers, welcome to this edition of The WeeklySqueakSummary, an (in principle) monthly but somewhat traffic-dependent report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the WeeklySqueak blog. Again, we did not have too many posts during the past four weeks - two this time. The "big news" is that Squeak 4.2 is finally there [1]. From what has been going on on squeak-dev in terms of trunk commit messages and release discussions, one could conclude that some important things have been changed. Most of them are somewhat under the hood, but all in all, this release looks like a very good one. The details are in the post - and in the image. ;-) IWST, the "research track" of ESUG, is calling for contributions [2]. The past month's news items: [1] Squeak 4.2 final now out! http://news.squeak.org/2011/02/03/squeak-4-2-final-now-out/ [2] Call for papers for IWST in Edinburgh http://news.squeak.org/2011/02/25/call-for-papers-for-iwst-in-edinburgh/ You can find this and much more on The WeeklySqueak blog, the newsblog dedicated to the world of Squeak: http://news.squeak.org/ Subscribe to the WeeklySqueak RSS feed: http://news.squeak.org/feed/ Happy squeaking, Michael

Re: Startup weekend success

Yanni asked: >- was that the whole team - the four of you? Yes. This startup weekend was about a hundred participants. On friday evening, there were some 45 pitches, of which 12 were chosen to be developed further. Some of them had a product ready and needed a marketing plan, others were just an idea. Ours was just an idea. The groups had different sizes, ours was one of the smallest. >- was Diego a Smalltalker too; did you meet at the event or did you know >each other beforehand? The past year I've worked with Diego a few days a week on a GLASS site. We thought most of what we have build to be reusable in other startups, and wanted to verify that hypothesis. >- was there anything in particular that led you to build the "Parent >Support" app instead of joining another group (i.e. was the app well >suited to Seaside/Pharo)? It was a combination of factors that made this the right project. There were two or three other proposals that would have been a better technology fit (no iPhone app needed) but were not as inspiring. This pitch was well liked by the audience, it had a very recognizable problem that was neither trivial nor extremely difficult to approach, and one that Diego and I both experience. The people in the team were all experienced and we had the right 'click'. >- did you prepare a "kit" for the event (i.e. all the frameworks you >thought you'd need, already loaded in an image) We prepared a kit. We even did some work the week before to get a faster start with our domain model (naked objects style). >- what were other groups using (especially the runner's up) Lots of Keynote, Flash and Powerpoint, iPhone and iPad apps, RoR, development outsourced to china, Wistia, different clouds. The overall winner had a water producing windmill (by condensating, not the traditional ones) and needed a good marketing plan. The 'first to reach a million' was an iPad cash register (and some integration services) Stephan
