I've been thinking about this for a while now. Although the devs are really putting a lot of effort into the documentation, there's a fundamental problem. Let me try to describe it. The reason I've been developing with TG1, and now TG2 is because of the flexibility it offers. I started with SQLObject. Didn't like it, switched to SQLAlchemy. Great documentation there. Then I discovered Elixir, used it for a while in simpler projects. Now I switched back to SA for more advanced stuff. Learned a lot along the way, gained some insights, because it showed me different approaches for using the object model with a SQL backend. Because of the wide range of interchangeable pieces in TG2. It all needs to be covered in documentation, and it is, most of the time. But the problem I often find is the lack of _depth_ in the documentation. The examples look elegant and easy, they work, those were the code snippets that made me enthusiastic about TG. But just when you want to build a reald world application, you need something a bit more powerful and all you're left with is the TG source. That's the feeling I get sometimes. I've got no idea if anybody feels the same way. What to do about it? I'd love to see source code of real-world TG deployments. With all its imperfect workarounds. I guess it only takes a TG wikipage with these 2 columns: "project repository", "heavily used components". I'll provide the first: http://github.com/kvdb/6pp/tree/master, TGWebServices Cheers, Kees --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
