It is designed to make client-side development faster and easier. It allows developers to write client-side heavy web applications in Smalltalk. </p> <p>Amber includes an integrated development environment with a class browser, workspace, transcript, object inspector and debugger.</p> <p>Amber is written in itself, including the compiler, and compiles into efficient JavaScript, mapping one-to-one with the JS equivalent.</p> <h2>Give it a try!</h2> <p><b>Try a <button onClick="smalltalk.Browser._open()"> Class browser</button> right now!</b></p> </div> <div class="column"> <h2>Getting started</h2> <p>The <a href="https://github.com/NicolasPetton/amber/wiki">Wiki on GitHub</a> includes a <a href="https://github.com/NicolasPetton/amber/wiki/Getting-started">Getting started</a> tutorial for OSX, Linux and Windows.</p> <p>If you're new to Smalltalk, You can learn it online with <a href="http://amber-lang.net/learn.html">ProfStef</a>.</p> <h2>Join the community</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://amber-lang.net">Amber's website</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/NicolasPetton/amber/wiki">Wiki on GitHub</a></li> <li><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/amber-lang">Mailing list</a></li> <li>Join us on IRC at #amber-lang on Freenode</li> </ul> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> <div id="content"> <div class="main"> <div class="box"> <h2>Client-side usage</h2> <div class="content"> <p>Load the full Amber Smalltalk environment with the IDE in your page:</p> <code><pre><script src="js/amber.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> loadAmber()</script></pre></code> </div> <p>Or the deployment JavaScript file only (without the Smalltalk sources, parser, compiler and IDE):</p> <code><pre><script src="js/amber.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> loadAmber({deploy: true})</script></pre></code> </div> <div class="box last examples"> <h2>Examples</h2> <div class="content"> <ul> <li> <a href="examples/presentation/index.html"> <img src="images/presentation.png" alt="ESUG 2011 presentation"/> </a> </li> <li> <a href="examples/twitterwall/index.html"> <img src="images/twitterwall.png" alt="Twitter Wall"/> </a> </li> <div class="clear"></div> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script type='text/javascript'> loadAmber() </script> </body> </html>
