WebVelocity 1.1 is shipping now to our commercial customers; the non-commercial version will be available for download shortly. What's new? A whole lot of cloud support for your web apps:

I'm in the process of updating the screencasts for WebVelocity right now; subscribe to Smalltalk Daily, or keep checking back on the main WebVelocity video page for updates.

Michael has built a web demo using WebVelocity - database and scaffolding - that looks like an iPhone app:
Recently I was asked to make a demo application that makes a standard WebVelocity application using scaffolding with active record look and work on the iPhone. There are three tricks to making a web page look like a native iPhone app: 1) colours, 2) orientation detection, 3) animations. In this demo I show off #1 and #2 and leave #3 for any adventurous jQuery users out there.
Follow the link for the video - it's pretty cool.
I'll be doing screencasts of the new 1.1 release of WebVelocity over the next couple of weeks - here's a screenshot of the new UI, showing the way code is laid out:
Michael just announced WebVelocity 1.1 - you can read his entire post for more details, but this bit sets the mood:
We started off chasing the tail of Ruby on Rails but at this point it's futile to compare ourselves to them too. Ruby has never believed in tools — we do, in a big way. Can you imagine writing code in a web browser, running it in a second tab to see how it works, discovering a bug and debugging with edit and continue in your main tab and then having the second tab instantly finish loading as if nothing had ever gone wrong? ... now can you imagine that you don't know how to fix the bug, so you just send the bug over to a friend working on his laptop at a coffee shop and having him fix it in moments?
We'll have an open download available shortly; in the meantime, we have two screencasts:
I'll be redoing all the WebVelocity 1.0 screencasts over the next little while as well.

We have another beta build of WebVelocity available - to get access to it, you'll need to sign the NDA here. The release is getting pretty close - things are looking good. There are instructions on dealing with the NDA on the WebVelocity Group page.
I have all the details on my Cincom blog
Ian Prince has some notes on using the Amazon ec2 WebVelocity image (1.1 Beta) we made available over on the WebVelocity list. Worth reading if you intend to give it a try.
We made the beta of WebVelocity 1.1 available last week; to get access to it, just join the mailing list - we post download instructions there
We also have an Amazon instance you can test - again, join the Google group linked above to get access to that :)
The beta release of WebVelocity 1.1 is ready for evaluation - I've sent a note out to the mailing list for the product. If you're interested, check out the discussion group we set up.
Arden is asking for people interested in WebVelocity to check out the 1.1 beta, which should be ready shortly. Interested? Send an email to him, or to me.
Want to see what's coming? Michael has done a screencast.
