    Notes on slide 1

    We have to focus on UI/UX The app has to be “cute” Few time We wanted to use Smalltalk

    Esto estaria bueno hacer algo como que se fusionen las dos frases y salga RIA.

    RIA, rich Internet applications, are Web applications that have the features and functionality of traditional desktop applications. The term "Rich Internet Application" was introduced in a Macromedia white paper in March 2002, though the concept had been around for a number of years before that under different names such as: Remote Scripting, X Internet, Rich (web) clients, Rich web application UX: The scope of the field is directed at affecting "all aspects of the user’s interaction with the product: how it is perceived, learned, and used." After defining all of this ria stuff, we do some research on how to work with this concepts on smalltalk…

    ST is good for modeling and think new domains Flex is good for UI and is a great tool to maximize the UX concepts Anyway/actually, i dont have to say here why ST is good, right?

    Falta traducir Quizas cambiar los graficos a como esta el otro. Agregar una union entre los dos mundos

    Increases available controls, enriching user interaction: Drag & drop, tabs, sliders, rich text editors. Eases prototype creation for the client. Making easy to work in an iterative way Just for Flex, documentation is great! WYSIWYG editor Graphical facilities allows artistic features Greater progress perception. Facilitates user satisfaction

    Cyclical reference not supported (?) AnyType not supported (?) Singleton in Flex Debug with multiple modules (mainApp-debug.swf) AS is not the state of the art in OOP (for example you can’t have many constructors) Security

    This model explote best from both worlds This is like a good model where you delegates responsibilities to who is better for each work This is not THE WAY, this is just ONE WAY The overall conclusion here is to use RIAs , no matter wich one, and connect it with Smalltalk , no matter wich one, through web services Power of distiction. Better comunication with the user

    4. The client…
      • … wants a “cute” app. (A.K.A. rich app)…
      • … with focus on user experience …
      • … and they don’t have too much time
    5. We are Smalltalk lovers [|] Reflective capabilities [|] Object Oriented Enviroment [|] Dynamic typing [|] Easy to express ideas
    6. So, the challenge
      • UI/UX
      • “ cute”
      • Few time
      • Smalltalk
      We were in a hurry…

    8. Lil’ about RIA Rich Internet Application
    9. User eXperience “… how it is perceived , learned , and used .” by Donald Norman
    10. The research
    11. UIs in Smalltalk based applications
    12. UIs in Smalltalk based applications
    13.  
    14. Examples of UIs in Smalltalk based applications
    15.  
    16. Quick conclutions
      • Similar layout
      • They aren’t user friendly
      • Form oriented
      • Windows default theme.

      Benefits
      • Poor client performance
      • Two environments
      • May incur in high traffic load.
      • Edge technology
      Shortcomings
    30. Problems we faced during development
      • Cyclical reference not supported
      • AnyType not supported
      • Debug with multiple modules
      • Flex(AS) is not the state of the art in OOP
      • Security
    31. Similar works
      • GlareDS
      • Seaside
      • VistaSmalltalk
    32. Final conclusions
      • Best from both worlds
      • Better responsibility delegation
      • Power of distiction.
