Hi :) I guess this kind of post comes up a lot, but I tryed searching the group and I still have problems... so I'm trying to ask a direct question. I hope you won't mind ^__^
I am no programmer. I know a bit my way around HTML and CSS, had (long time ago) an idea on how to use Javascript. I'm starting to chew a liiitle bit of Python (using the Codeacademy.com free course) and just graduated from the 10Gen MongoDB free course. But my skills are still veeeeery low and I'm struggling with basically everything I try to do :P So I bumped into web2py and decided I wanted to build a website with it (and maybe link it to a MongoDB, but I'll see to it later). And, well, I'm hitting a wall ç_ç I thought I would use html and css AND some python here and there to "link" the pages I make to the underlying dynamic framework ... turns out every page is actually decontructed in a clockwork of elements, all heavily based on python language. I'm not understanding WHERE to put my hands to edit this or that element of any given page... and even when I figure it out by tryal and error, then I have no idea HOW to modify the content. Some things look more or less familiar, most don't, and I'm feeling like progressing in a veeeeery slow crawl ... that I'm doing it all wrong. My website should be pretty simple... a couple of static "landing" pages and a blog-like system to easily post news and updates (with tags etc). And I wanted to try and DO something before resorting to full read-through of the whole web2py book. (which I skimmed briefly anyway) Most tutorials I found are either very basic (like the "Crash Course") and give no answers to my doubts, or very advanced, diving right into deep coding with no explanations to help along. Any help? Any pointers? Is a full and attentive read-through of the online book my only (or best) way to go BEFORE I even consider firing up the web2py program? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
