This will be fun. There is no one with your experience using M+S, and I'll be glad to learn more about Seaside, thanks!
I do hope the demo may afford the use of a MagmaCollectionReader somewhere in the inventory model; a great opportunity to demonstrate how they are used.
Need some way to deliver a nice sampling of SushiProducts; hardcoded or require user to enter?
I will brush up on Seaside.

Hi Chris,
In reply to your mail regarding a demonstration of Magma + Seaside, I would advise just installing Seaside and going through the sample applications - they install out the box.
The most complex example is an online sushi shop.
Seaside allows for customisation of its session class to allow the Seaside session to open a database connection. It is this functionality I would like to demonstrate.
Seaside's BIG IDEA is to use continuation to manage state between http requests. A very nice use of this is to page though a collection of objects.
Finally I would like to demonstrate the ability to modify the sushi bar's inventory when a purchase is made.
I suggest we make a monticello which modifies the Seaside demo accordingly. ..
