Dear Squeakers,
This time a new version is released first on Squeak, because I just finished few patches for WebSockets to work correctly on Squeak. Thoroughly tested therefore Aida is now ready for you to test it by yourself. You are therefore invited to help catching any remaining problems by downloading and running it by following script:
i := Installer monticello http: 'http://smalltalkhub.com'. i project: 'mc/Sport/Sport/main'; install: 'Sport-2.031'. i project: 'mc/Swazoo/Swazoo/main'; install: 'Swazoo-2.3final.2'. i project: 'mc/Aida/Aida/main'; install: 'Aida6.6-final.2'.
Then open http://localhost:8888 in your recent web browser and try demos like realtime one.
A famous counter is used in this realtime example to show all the Smalltalk elegance for writing web apps with most bleeding edge web technology as realtime (in our case WebSocket based) technology is. Realtime in the sense that values on the webpage are updated in immediately after this value changed. Changed from some outside reason (like temperature on Arctic changed) or by action from some other user, as above mentioned example shows. You can simulate that by open it in two different browsers, changing a count in one will immediately reflects in other browser. To test that on "global" level try our online realtime example: http://demo.aidaweb.si/demos?view=realtime
