I am a Java & .Net application programmer who has flirted with Smalltalk for a long time without doing the "deep dive" to really understand it. Pharo and Seaside are making me think that everything is coming together now for another try. That and some micro-ISV ambitions to give me a real reason to write some code outside of work.
For my type of project I really need a db package and a gui package. That leads to the questions: 1. Right now, is SqeakDBX my best choice for a db interface? Sqlite is my db of choice for the project I have in mind. 2. For the UI, I've been reading about the choices and I'm having a hard time finding a currently supported project. Do I go with polymorph by default? For the UI, what about "self-hosting" a Seaside instance and doing the UI in the browser? Ie, the app starts a Seaside server and opens a browser window pointed at the apps main window (home page). Can that be done? Is it a good idea? I hope you can give me some direction. I like the direction of Pharo and Seaside is just plain cool. I want to do this to get my head outside the coding box I'm kind of stuck in. And have some fun. Thanks for any help, Rick
