Hi, I am developing a Python desktop application for which I want a web interface. Besides html and css knowledge I am completely new to web development. I tried different Python web frameworks but it was web.py which attracted my brain most (and which caused by far the smallest amount of headache). Nevertheless I faced different problems. For example: - the documentation being split between 0.23 and 0.3 - parts of the documentation being little verbose - getting some authentication system running - mastering web.py's template system (maybe caused by the first problem)
Facing these problems, a win-win solution came to my mind and I am excited to see if anyone likes it. What will you do? Make a cup of tea and spend some time answering questions and explaining. This will give you the chance to see the hurdles a newbie is facing with web.py and web development in general. I assume some hurdles are just a matter of seconds while others might take longer. (I would not like to use a mailing list for this, simply because it would cost more time and complicate things by its asynchronous nature.) What will I do? As I solve my web.py problems with your help, I will contribute a comprehensive, high quality tutorial. This tutorial will be aimed at everybody new to web development or new to some of the covered aspects of it. It would cover the following things: - getting started with web.py (which I found to be very easy thanks to the current tutorial) - creating dynamic content (which I found to be very easy thanks to the current tutorial) - using the template system - form processing - basic database use - authentication including registration (ideally this would also cover openID) - deploying the app (app engine?) - not only being able to copy and paste the tutorial but to understand the basics - maybe more "Think about the ideal way to write a web app. Write the code to make it happen." "But how do I write that code?" "I'll show you." Interested? Then drop me a line.
