Web Connection User Guide : About this book
About this book
This book documents the VA Smalltalk Web Connection feature, which you can use to build VA Smalltalk applications that are accessible from World Wide Web browsers.
The VA Smalltalk Web Connection feature enables you to use VA Smalltalk to build applications that are accessible through the World Wide Web. With the Web Connection feature, you use the VA Smalltalk Composition Editor to build dynamic Web pages, much as you would build windows for an ordinary graphical user interface. The Web pages you build provide the user interface for your application, and you implement program logic by making connections and writing Smalltalk scripts, just as you would with any VA Smalltalk application.
This book includes the following information:
• Introductory information, including information on setting up Web Connection and your Web server.
• Information on building Web Connection applications, including using the visual parts, non-visual parts, page layout tools, database parts, and how to process requests.
• Information on using other HTML builders, such as FrontPage, with Web Connection.
• Information on packaging your application.
• Information on special Web Connection tools.
• Advanced topics such as session data, generating HTML from Smalltalk, error handling, and execution control.
