Welcome :)
Did you look at Seaside?
Since you should be able to read french there is a nice tutorial:
tinyBlog. In two days you can build a small web app
with a mongo back end.

Hello folks.
Some people have already seen me on Twitter and Slack, but I believe
there might be some people on the mailing list that did not see those
conversations.
As I have done on Slack, I am writing this introduction so people have
an idea where I come from and what is my business with Pharo.
I am a professional programmer. My current job is tech on a small
company I run with two associates (by the way, we are hiring a good
Python web dev with a passion for good code). The product is a SaaS
web application for recruiters. They call that an Application Tracking
System, it is a workflow, communication and archival system for job
applications and candidates.
I started programming 25 years ago with HyperCard, and since I have at
least played with Pascal, C, Prograph, asm68k, HP-48 (RPL, Saturn
asm), Java, bash, C++, LaTeX, XSLT, Delphi, Scheme, elisp, JavaScript.
I have contributed to GNU TeXmacs where I made important contributinos
during about 2 years, as I completed by training as an software
engineer, and worked at CNRS in Rennes. Then I got involved in GNU
Arch (wrote a Python driver), Bazaar (bzr scm) where I worked with the
founding team at Canonical while working on the version control aspect
of launchpad.net <http://launchpad.net>. After that, I had mostly no
contribution to free software, working on financial modeling at a bank
and then on my current business. I made a presentation on SQLAlchemy
at PyCon.fr <http://pycon.fr> 2015.
I am a fan Design Patterns (GoF) and the Refactoring book. My mentor
at Canonical (Robert Collins) is heavily influenced by Smalltalk and
championed XP there. I always had strong interests in software systems
design, programming language design, typography, and user interface
design. I feel strongly for the concept of software craftsmanship.
My current job is nice, good pay, lots of independence ; after 6 years
working on the same project, I need some fresh intellectual
stimulation. And I was recently impressed by the presentation "Nothing
is Something", by Sandi Metz, who is heavily influenced by Smalltalk.

So, I here I came, bumbling my way around the system, looking for
intellectual stimulation, and for a way to make a positive contribution.
I was very impressed by the nice welcome I have received. And I see
there is lots of useful work to do here.
So that's where I come from when you see me chipping in the
conversation here.
Regards.
