What do I need[edit]
Here's what you'll need for lesson 1:
- computer
- recent Python installed
I will use branch 2 for the demo. There should be no problem using version 3 for the first lesson, but some frameworks and tools for Lesson 2 might not be compatible. Everything should work on major platforms (Linux, *BSD, OS X, Windows), and most stuff should work on exotic platforms (iOS, Android, Symbian S60).
Main topics[edit]
Lesson 1: Getting hands on[edit]
- Python syntax and Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
- Going roots: HTTP server using sockets
- Intro to CGI
- Using Python CGI
- Basic storage and persistent data
Lesson 2: Using libs[edit]
- Templating ( Jinja2 ? )
- SQL Alchemy ( ORM )
- CherryPy ( web framework )
- Deployment options
Links & Docs[edit]
What about Django, Flask, Web.py ?[edit]
Django has awesome features, but it uses several new concepts altogether ( MVC, ORM, regex routing, ...). This workshop will help understanding some of these concepts, one at a time. This will help participants to attend a workshop about Django.
I love the simplicity and the object orientation of CherryPy, which is why I arbitrary chose it over other options such as Flash, web.py, ...
