Seaside — Getting Wet

So last week I installed VisualWorks. Tonight I installed Seaside on it. All I had to do to install it was open up the StORE and select the latest SeasideForWebToolkit version and select "Load". Towards the end it asked me a couple questions (admin id and password) then it was done.

Now I'm off to make my first Seaside app. TTFN

VisualWorks — First Steps

Early this past week I installed VisualWorks (NonCommercial) to play with. I've used Dolphin Smalltalk before and liked how the system works.

Installing VisualWorks was easy enough, I filled out the form and was given access to the downloads page. The net installer didn't work so I used the CD ISO download (10 minute download on the cable modem).

I've been pleasantly suprised at the StORE that is in VisualWorks. If Dolphin Smalltalk had that sort of repository I couldn't imagine moving away from it. Dolphin is Win32 only and doesn't seem to have the repository. Ah well, I might see a VisualWorks purchase in my future.

Cerberus Helpdesk – Security Breach

Well, my old software finally made the papers. And as Jeff is "Jeff" his responses are great.

Check the comments on the Register link.

Watching my old company is sometimes almost as fun as it was running it with Jeff.
