I’ve been working in Smalltalk since 1985. I love to work in the language.
Seaside is introducing a whole new crop of folks to Smalltalk and they are falling in love with the language, too.
I know that GemStone/S can make life easier for folks doing Seaside applications and I hope that this blog will help them leverage GemStone and Seaside into successful web sites.
BTW, the picture was taken by my wife Janet on the flanks of Haleakala at sunset.

As of today (Nov 3, 2015), what is the easiest, fastest, way to get started using GemStone/S with Seaside and Pharo 4 or 5? I have found many possibly “old” links/sites/pages/youtube videos and it’s hard to determine which are the currently relevant ones using the most recent versions of everything. I’d like to try to compare development, deployment, and query access ease and efficiency of Gemstone/S against current legacy web app deployed on Amazon’s AWS programmed in Java (with various frameworks) using PostgresSQL for persistence.

On this site, I just found https://programminggems.wordpress.com/2013/09/25/gemstone-on-the-macintosh/
which might be exactly what I’m seeking. It looks easy enough and “hand-holdy” enough. I’ll try it and report back. :-)

Marco, as of today, the best bet is to start using https://github.com/GsDevKit/GsDevKit_home#open-source-development-kit-for-gemstones-64-bit- … I will be announcing this next week, and then go about the work of freshening up pointiner around the net to this project … … depending upon what you want to do there may not be complete documentation, but you can ask questions on the GLASS mailing list … GsDevKit_home should provide a more complete solution than gemstone on the macintosh (GsDevKit_home can be used on Mac, Windows or Linux … only the client on Windows) …
