Hey list,<br><br>I am currently attending the Google I/O. And as soon as I see presentations about the Google App Engine und the GWT, I wonder if Seaside does provide all those functionalities since quite a lot of time?<br>
<br>Looking at the App Engine: compare that with <a href="http://seasidehosting.st">seasidehosting.st</a><br>What are you doing? You write your code, save your image and upload it to <a href="http://seasidehosting.st">seasidehosting.st</a> ... and voila, there is your webapplication online.<br>
<br>What does the App Engine provide:<br>Write you code in Python (boooh), upload it to the google cloud and there you go as well! Sure, there is a slight difference, because Google currently provides more then seasidehosting does, but in general there seem to be quite the same idea.<br>
<br><br>So let's switch to the Google Web Toolkit. What does it do?<br>It provides the functionality to write your code in Java, you use GWT and it gets fransformed into a cross-browser-platform supported code. <br>So we do write our code in Smalltalk, use Seaside capabilities and as well have our AJAX / HTML / JavaScript code available without ever touching it.<br>
<br>Seriously, think about it. If we could do some more promotion for Seaside, and investigate a little more time on a cool portal (like seasidehosting) we could definitely raise to an opponent of Google. I know, this sounds visionary, but it is reachable...<br>
<br>By the way I try to tell everyone I talk to about the powerful Webframework Seaside and it's implementation in Smalltalk!<br><br>Cheers,<br>Peter<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Peter Osburg<br><a href="http://www.peter-osburg.de">www.peter-osburg.de</a>
