Web 2.0 for Seaside

by Lukas Renggli, renggli@iam.unibe.ch

Presentation: [pdf]

Abstract. Seaside is a mature Web application framework. It has always been able to fly Web 2.0 style, a long time before this term was actually formed. This tutorial is for intermediate to advanced Seaside users that want to learn about the integration of Web 2.0 technologies in Seaside. Learn how to add auto-completion, drag and drop, visual effects, instant feedback, and server push technology, usually without writing a single line of Javascript code by hand.
