Dear Colleagues and Friends, The first 6 chapters of Agile Artificial Intelligence are now stable. Now is a good time for reviewing them. The chapters are available online from: https://agileartificialintelligence.github.io/ You can also see that the structure of the book has evolved. I believe that the part are stable. Maybe content of Part II and Part III can still evolve. You can contribute to the chapters by simply making a pull-request. People who do so, (i) will have their name listed on the book website, (ii) will have their name in the printed version of the book, and (iii) I will be very happy to invite you for a beer next time we meet. Thanks to all of you who have pushed the book and sent encouragements. The community deserves your effort.

Re: [Esug-list] [vwnc] BootStrapLight
by Maarten Mostert Oct. 11, 2018

Oct. 11, 2018

Hello Esteban, Thank you for the Seaside snipet 😊 Now first of all the main difference is formatting right ! There is maybe a different way to do it but evaluating your snipet came out with no formatting at all ?? 😳 So now if I do the following: esteban:=Seaside.WAHtmlCanvas builder render: [:html | html div class: 'text-center'; with: [ html heading level2; class: 'h4'; with: [ html text: 'Timline yes'. html span class: 'g-color-primary g-ml-5'; with: '#02 yes yes ' ] ] ]. maarten := ((Div class: 'text-center g-mb-50') addChild: ((H2 class: 'h4' text: 'Timline yes') addChild: (Span class: 'g-color-primary g-ml-5' text: '#02 yes yes '))) resolve. ———————- endEsteban := (Article class: 'g-pos-rel g-bg-gray-light-v5 g-pa-30' comment:'Estaban''s way') addChild: esteban; addChild: (H3 text: 'French classes' class: 'g-font-weight-300'); resolve. endMaarten := (Article class: 'g-pos-rel g-bg-gray-light-v5 g-pa-30' comment:'Maarten''s way') addChild: maarten; addChild: (H3 text: 'French classes' class: 'g-font-weight-300'); resolve. I get for you:  <article class="g-pos-rel g-bg-gray-light-v5 g-pa-30"> <div class=« text-center"><h2 class="h4">Timline yes<span class="g-color-primary g-ml-5">#02 yes yes </span></h2></div <h3 class="g-font-weight-300">French classes</h3> </article>  End for me:  <article class="g-pos-rel g-bg-gray-light-v5 g-pa-30"> <div class="text-center g-mb-50"> <h2 class="h4">Timline yes <span class="g-color-primary g-ml-5">#02 yes yes </span> </h2> </div <h3 class="g-font-weight-300">French classes</h3> </article>  As you can see even if the Seaside rendering comes without formatting the end results remains somewhat readable which makes copying and pasting way more easy to verify. Now maybe the better question is how you guys work ??? Lets take the example of this template I acquired some time ago: https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/unify-responsive-website-template-WB0412697 It has over 1750 reusable components and this is why it has some many funny css classes as you noticed. If you want to rebuild the entire template into seaside code you probably have for over a year of work, and I can’t really believe anyone does that ? On my pages basically 90% of the code is copied and then modified and adapted, which means that verifying combining formatting and readability really is a major issue. Doing so and using bootstrap consistency it is actually not so complicated to create some good looking pages in a couple of hours. However maybe the real time saver would be to actually parse existing html into compiled smalltalk methods 😉 html is a kind of xml ins’t it ? And we do have a very nice XML parser in VW 😇 Regards, Maarten, PS1 I’ll see what I do about the name 😅 PS2. You said > ……… and also imported a lot of utilities and > helpers directly from their js/css (DataTables, FontAwesome, Dragtable > and other jQuery plugins). Why do you have the need to do so ? For many things I need I just declare the required javascript libraries and css files in the header part of AppeX isn’t it like this it is supposed to work ?. > Le 10 oct. 2018 à 18:45, Esteban A.
