I'm knee-deep in the ginormous Pyramid tutorial I'm re-writing for a
class I'm doing next week. It started by mirroring the Quick Tour. Along
the way, of course, I started to think I got Quick Tour wrong, so I
thought I'd ask folks here to plug in their Pyramid Evaluator brains and
give some feedback.
As background, each time I've done a tutorial or documentation on
Pyramid, I waffle on an essential point: should I confront people with
Python distribution (aka package) early or late? Most of the time I
think the latter, which I did with the Quick Tour. I showed working code
that didn't care if you had a distribution. I could just focus on the
first ten things people wanted to learn about.
But ultimately that sucks: no pserve, no INI files, et al. For the
tutorial I'm about to reverse the polarity Yet Again (tm) and start like
this:
- Use a scaffold, to quickly get some pretty pixels
- Throw all that stuff out and do a single-file Hello World
- Throw that out and do a Python distribution
- Add in pserve with an INI file
- Then, off to the races
By the time I'm done at PyCon/PloneConf Brazil and merge all this back
into the published docs, it's going to be an awesome lickable monster.
But I'll want to redo the Quick Tour to mimic the structure of the tutorial.
So what say ye, archetypal Pyramid Evaluators: can Paulie make people
eat their vegetables first?
