Khubbatov Rustem

Short description:  The aim of this project is to create a framework for building web-based Human-Machine Interfaces in Smalltalk with Pharo-based server back-end model and UI front-end in Amber.

Small screencast

Here is a small screencast presenting my project. Nearly all the functionality is presented here. Not all the features that were planned at the beginning are implemented at the moment, but I hope the results are still interesting and useful for Smaltallk society. And for sure, I'm planning to continue to develop this project further on.

Pharo & WebSocket: Google Chrome problem

Hi!

Month ago i discovered that my application don`t want in Google Chrome browser. As it turned out there was a problem not only for me. My mentor and some people from amber-lang told about this problem to me. I had no idea what the reason of such behavior of WebSocket.

After a little time JacobWagner said that may be google uses more and more recent specifications of this protocol, but WebClient-Core in Pharo was not updated for a long time.

Now this problem has gone. Here [1] is a version of WebClient, which is compatible with the new RFC [2].

Some words about Amber client

For writing client side of my application i used:

- Amber smalltalk

- WebSocket

- Raphael.js library

How i wrote server side of my application

First of all i want to tell you about how i write my server using Pharo 1.3.
I used WebSocket to make comunication between Amber and Pharo, so i was need in some WebSocket class in my Pharo 1.3. My mentor helps me to found package of classes that contains WebSocket class.
