Willow is developed using Smalltalk, providing a simple interface for your web application, no matter the front-end framework you choose.

The tutorials below assume you are familiar with Smalltalk code, and are using Pharo as your development environment. Willow is intended to work alongside the RenoirSt DSL to define the CSS of your application. Some basic knowledge of Seaside is also recommended.
