Amber is an implementation of the Smalltalk-80 language that runs on
top of the JavaScript runtime. Amber brings client side scripting to
the next level. Imagine developing directly in an IDE in your web
browser: write unit tests, debug, inspect, save and run your code
without hitting the refresh button.
In this session, we will:
- Show how to get started with Amber
- Show how the JavaScript integration works
- Show examples of how to access and quickly wrap existing JavaScript libraries (e.g. Google Maps, Ace editor)
- Discuss how Amber can be easily incorporated into existing webapplications - regardless of the back-end (Ruby, PHP, Seaside, etc) and how it can co-exist with existing client-side JavaScript
- Show some nice applications written in Amber
