since you gave listing at the end of page, i wonder, how much PHP (yes! :) code it would take to implement same app? :) of course , PHP is not really fair comparison, since it doesn't implements full HTTP stack, nor it deals with HTTP requests directly as Zinc does, and runs on top of web server which does that for it.

Hi,
I wrote a new tutorial, "Building and deploying your first web app with Pharo - Understanding HTTP fundamentals through Zinc HTTP Components".
By chronologically following the development process, you will see a small web app growing from something trivial to the final result. Finally, we will save our source code in a repository and deploy for real in the cloud.
http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/build-and-deploy-1st-webapp
Pharo 2.0/3.0 features such as Nautilus, SmalltalkHub, Metacello Configurations, Zeroconf Scripts and of course Zinc HTTP Components are used while highlighting traditional strengths such as incremental, live & interactive development in a rich environment.
Enjoy,
Sven
PS: Feedback is welcome, the source document lives here https://github.com/svenvc/zinc/blob/master/build-and-deploy-1st-webapp/build... - pull requests appreciated.
