I am fairly comfortable with unix commands and security, I still have a lot to learn though.
I have a bad taste in my moth for Django as I installed it and couldn't find where the files were put, and thus couldn't follow the one and only Django tutorial. When I asked on the Django mailing list for help I got no response. I restored my machine to a previous back-up to get rid of all the Django 'stuff' wherever it was. If I could get help installing it correctly I might give it a go. The problem that I'm seing is most these frameworks don't give you step by step instructions on how to download and install. How about pylons? I looked at their site and they have decent instructions AND tutorials. Surprisingly, I have yet to come across a tutorial outlining how to retrieve user input from a form which should be, from my limited view, the primary function of a framework as that is the crucial aspect of a dynamic web app. If anyone knows of a good tutorial let me know. Also, I've seen that some of these frameworks have you staat up their own server. Why run their server and apache? Or can theses frameworks use apache?
