CINCOM Web Velocity available

An epistle from James Robertson, CINCOM's Smalltalk evangelist, informs me that Web Velocity is now available.

James is the author of a great many quality Smalltalk podcasts available on iTunes, so learning Web Velocity should be a pleasure.

Forget Rails. Web Velocity is built on Seaside from Ruby-guy Avi Bryant ( and returns to Ruby as the "Borges" web framework) and allows editing your live server-side code in the web page in your browser. The live page.

The only thing that comes close to this in my experience is the "live code" {example}macro in the Curl Documentation Viewer in the Curl IDE.

Congrats to Alan Knight and his team at CINCOM and to the Squeak folks who helped carry Seaside forward!

Though Smalltalk is not that popular these days, there is a new renaissance in Smalltalk development, thanks to Squeak.I went through many sites of the Smalltalk and agree with all the supporters of Smalltalk. The more I learn about Smalltalk and Squeak the more I’m impressed. In the process of my learning I have collected some good sites (more than 200) related to Smalltalk and Squeak (lessons, tutorials and programming). If you are interested take a look at the below link.
