Its still a bit low level. Slightly more hi-level but not yet into framework-land is to take the basic components of web-design and study minimalist implementations separately. Note: I know very little of this area -- used RoR for a couple of months many years ago. This is just to get the ball rolling and have more experienced folks amend my suggestions! - url-mapping - template engines - Database-ORM - MVC design pattern One more general advice based on my experience [And if it looks condescending, please forgive me!] Many people who come to a programming language like python from web-framework experience dont know enough programming. They then cover up that lack by learning more and more of the framework but not enough of the underlying language. This may get you along for a while but eventually is suboptimal -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
