Talk given at OSDC.fr 2010 (Paris, France)

What has your web application framework done for you lately?

Are you tired of marshaling state, mapping URLs, and making sure your form fields all have unique element IDs? Do you long for a better way to develop for the web, without editing XML files? Do you ever wish complex online applications actually let you use the Back button? Seaside frees you from these burdens, leaving you to focus on creating the applications that can make or break your business.

Find out why Seaside is driving a new generation of developers to pick up a powerful and productive language called Smalltalk. Long a secret weapon in the finance, manufacturing, and transportation sectors, Smalltalk is now being used by more and more businesses to develop complex applications faster and more cheaply than their competition.

Shared Nothing, REST, HTML templates: these all have their place. But leave your conventional wisdom at the door and see if you can't discover a better way to develop your next online application.
