Welcome!!! I hope you enjoy this wonderful world ;)
For my type of project I really need a db package and a gui package. That leads to the questions: 1. Right now, is SqeakDBX my best choice for a db interface? Sqlite is my db of choice for the project I have in mind.
Of course!!! hahahahaha (I am one of the SqueakDBX authors). But it is a joke. There are several persitence alternatives. You can see this link: http://www.seaside.st/documentation/persistence There others nice solutions like Magma, CouchDB and TokyoTyrant, etc. The good thing is that you have several approaches. There must be one that fits better your needs. BTW, SqueakDBX works perfect with Sqlite3 in Linux, Mac and Windows. Which OS do you want to use? You can even create (I can help you if you want) a seaside one-click with the Sqlite3 and OpenDBX dlls. So, this type of app is very "portable": just unzip and double click :)
mariano it would be nice if you could start to write something on it. May be we could turn that into a chapter for the pharo v 2 book?
Yes! I have no problem to do it. Right now, I will translate one of the Pharo By Example (1) chapters to Spanish. So, I will be familiar PBE and the .tex of it. Our website has a lot of documentation, so, I think I can get stuff from there as an start. What do you think? who is the one that is leading PBE2 ?
