[Pharo-project] PHP Fog ...
I reckon a Smalltalk-type Heroku/PHP Fog (http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/10/php-fog-raises-1-8-million-to-be-the-heroku...) would be nice :) Would there be a viable business opportunity there or is the market simply too small? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/PHP-Fog-tp3208657p3208657.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Yep, I reckon the screencast you made is great ... but ... it's not quite the same though :) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/PHP-Fog-tp3208657p3209078.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
About 6 months ago I shelved a project for doing Heroku-style deployments from Pharo to Seaside. Perhaps I should dig out my backup and pick it up. I thought I was the only one that might want this, and I got caught up with some issues serializing and sending objects over the network. So that's my first question: what's the best way to serialize and send an object over the network? Would it perhaps be better to just tell the deployed image to use Monticello to update? Can Monticello roll back in case of error (so it can be headless)? -Steven On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 6:36 AM, Geert Claes <geert.wl.claes@gmail.com> wrote:

I would love to see money raised for doing this kind of startup over pharo.

not as far as I know. Now I think that we are making progress to be able to load code in a separate environment so we could really load everything in an environment and not install it in case of problem. It just takes more times than expected. Stef

Please share your code :) Heroku didn't get there in a day, and used lots of good tools provided by the community. What we need now is those tools.

Let's find some million dollar projects only Pharo can solve :)

I would love to get funding for a vision I've had for years now; a Smalltalk (Seaside, AIDA or Iliad based) Platform as a Service (intuitive online IDE, transparent version control, point-and-click deployment, shareable add-ons, ...) but I think it's still a little bit too early yet ... until then I'll keep tinkering away at the concept idea :) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/PHP-Fog-tp3208657p3213637.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Geert, Even before we get into the sizing of market, we need to see if injecting Venture Capital into Pharo will do for the better or not... -- Cesar Rabak Em 11/01/2011 07:19, Geert Claes < geert.wl.claes@gmail.com > escreveu: I reckon a Smalltalk-type Heroku/PHP Fog (http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/10/php-fog-raises-1-8-million-to-be-the-heroku...) would be nice :) Would there be a viable business opportunity there or is the market simply too small? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/PHP-Fog-tp3208657p3208657.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
