At this time I'd say that PharoJS would probably my first choice to check out for such project in the future. Given my Pharo n00bness however I have decided to stick with C# for this project for now to avoid (too) long implementation times. But I'll definitely dive into the options you tell me about, specifically PharoJS. Thx to you all! /Arie Op vr 14 jun. 2019 om 14:57 schreef Noury Bouraqadi <bouraqadi@gmail.com>:
Hi Arie,
Do you really need to code web browser, or is it acceptable to control a web browser from Pharo. This is what we do in PharoJS (http://pharojs.org), for running tests. We also have a custom playground, so evaluate pharo expressions that are translated to javascript and executed by the web browser.

Hi,
for a project I need this kind of program:
1. client side only 2. must be able to programmatically show a web browser in a window (Morphic??); only local content will be shown 3. must also be able to show other windows, containing simple games
Now, I guess that 1 and 3 are possible straight away, but I am unsure about option 2.
I found out that there are a few ways to do it:
- using C#, which has: - standard web browser control out-of-the-box - third-party open source chromium web browser component - using Java, which (afaict) is a coding effort, but possible anyway
That saiud, since I'd very much like to start using Pharo for more tasks (just starting) I wonder if Pharo has something to offer in this case.
Many thx! /Arie
