> Well, documentation at least ;-) I must disagree. I tried posting something here and I will make my point again since the post did not go through. I was very into TG and to tell you the truth, documentation was and is bad period. Not taking anything away from TG at all. Just a constructive criticism. I had the book for TG1 and it was not enough. The examples were not complete and lets not even go to TG2. I happen to come across web2py through this thread and gave web2py a shot. Since I was looking for solid documentation that could lead me through a COMPLETE example and eventually a complete project, web2py made it!!! I was instantly sold into the idea of choosing it over TG. As far as functionality, yes, SQLAlchemy has some interesting/easier way of interacting with DB's, however, I agree with Pierro with the points he makes. RDBM is going to be RDBM no matter what and you can accomplish whatever using either database approach. SQLAlchemy seems to be just a facilitator. But BUT web2py is already been one hell of a facilitator with all the other faces of developing a WebApp. This after just one day of trying web2py. I am totally sold!!! into it..
