Re: [lively-kernel] Newbie, a few questions

[Robert Krahn]

Can I run my dev environment totally self contained i.e. without relying on a server to persist my "worlds" ? You can run lively worlds without a server by just opening the xhtml files in a browser. For persisting changes you need at least a tiny server part that supports the WebDAV interface. If so how do I do that ? i.e. what docs do I read to accomplish that. Setting up an apache server is shown here: http://lively-kernel.org/other/livelyInstallMac.mov (Works when the server is online again). That said, our proposed way to interact with Lively is to use the wiki (e.g. http://www.lively-kernel.org/repository/lively-wiki/sandbox/sandbox.xhtml). Any plans to extend JS syntax to support a Smalltalk like syntax? Experimental: http://lively-kernel.org/repository/lively-wiki/users/robertkrahn/rk-stExample.xhtml Are there already classes, frameworks for database connectivity ? Just for CouchDB. Any examples of a form based app with transmission to an http servlet ? I'm trying to get the entire roundtrip picture of how one could bulld an app with user interactivity including persistence. Example chat application. Client side: http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/robert/chatNodeJs.xhtml Server side: see attachement (uses Node.js)

simpleChat.js
