I was in the Seaside session too, and it was kind of astonishing to see what you can do when you set aside a lot of the traditional approaches to developing a Web app.

On the other hand, the idea of using programming code to generate your markup isn’t all that heretical to client-side developers who do it all the time with JavaScript. :) We just do it right there on the client instead of going back to the Web server for it.

didimo,

I’m afraid you missed the point. Even storing sessions in a memory table requires you to serialize the session data. You can’t store the current execution context, including the call stack, in a database.

Heh my own framework uses database to store temporary and permament session, allowing me to store large objects in a session, the nice thing is that this scales quite well my latest project involves hundreds to thousands of users being online simultaneously

I found Memory tables perfect for this task, also innodb is surprisingly fast (im using mysql5,php5.1.4,apache2.2
