If you aren't willing to get into the code itself and its comments, or hang out in the list asking questions and writing code, then it's not really the framework you're looking for. There are a few blogs, but most helpful is the mailing list itself. You do not however, want to make a real project your first Seaside app, you need to write some sample apps, toys, to teach you the framework. Seaside isn’t that mainstream yet.

How come? I'm trying to figure out how to use Seaside to develop a commercial website and there are no books to help me. There are several online tutorials but they are frankly too simple in their scope. I'm almost tempted to give up Seaside/Smalltalk and turn to RoR. That would be a great shame...

I’m almost tempted to give up Seaside/Smalltalk and turn to RoR. That would be a great shame…

Yes, it's my favorite language, because it's my favorite programming environment. It's what programming was meant to be. No, only two of them are about Smalltalk.
