For me the idea of dabo caught my interest. During my off hours I was playing with Linux and finding more and more I enjoyed about the system. Then I discovered python. I immediately enjoyed the interactive programming environment. But then I realized that I had to write almost everything from scratch. Simple data access, simple gui's needed hours to setup. Coming from the microsoft world of programming - this was a major step backwards. Yes there was BOA for creating the GUI but still required that I setup and handle all the data access. Forget about 3 tier programming. I quickly came to the conclusion that I could do as well with C++, Kdevelop and QT. But then I read about two guys willing to use python and build a framework, no more than a framework that would make RAD "real" using python. So I say demo creating a simple app that accesses data. Add properties and show what can be done. Maybe create a simple class that uses dabo. Then make sure you give it back to the list.
