[Cuis-dev] The Cuis Book, please review!

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Hi Giorgio,

Thanks for your feedback!

*Short answer to your questions.*

The book is not for you. Or any of us. ;-)

It is for Cuis users that don't know Cuis yet!

Nevertheless, we need you, experts, to review the book. It is a task 
where your only benefit is the satisfaction to give something without 
much in return, it will make you happier[1].

*Long answer to your questions.*

This is something to be documented in other book or booklet. The more 
documentation on Cuis the more Cuis will have attention.

Do you have experience in the use of web/database with Cuis? I have with 
Pharo (Seaside, Mango, Sqlite).  I prototype a Pharo loans restructuring 
web application in my spare time for 2 years, but I gave up (kind of 
lost confident in the financial success of the project).

I don't know the state of the art with Cuis. Could you enlighten us, 
preferably in another mail thread?

Thanks

Hilaire
