I code all the time with Python and Pyramid, and I didn't find yet the documentation of bluebream really helpful, decribing the application server and it's modules in detail. the pyramid docs in comparison are 10x better and very great, and cover the framework really in detail with good samples all the time.

Extending the documentation explaining the basics about POST, GET and it's protocols is only a chapter to extend. If you tell me, that you want the whole picture then start with HTML, CSS and OOP Javascript and then jump to pyramid. Putting this in ONE and ONLY book, take you away from the scope. Then it's no more a pyramid book, then a 3-subject book, which is nonsense. APress has very good books you'll find everything you need. > - C > Tamer > >> >> >> >> Am 23.03.2013 11:14, schrieb Steve Piercy: >>> Howdy, >>> >>> While at PyCon, an editor, Rachel Roumeliotis, from O'Reilly Media >>> informed @mcdonc that they would like to publish books about Pyramid. >>> At this point we don't have a lot of information about the potential >>> arrangement or what the books would cover.
