It's a nice, clean page.  I posted more comments in the resources thread.

Good work!

I published http://learn-web2py.com a few minutes ago. It's far away from 
being perfect, but it's an first attempt. I'm neither an expert in web2py 
nor a native speaker. All of your feedback is welcome!

No, I don't care for Ruby, so I never paid it any attention. I have no clue 
where someone would go to learn it. Web2Py is good, I heard Django is good 
also, but I'm not a sheep that's just going to follow the herd to where 
it's going, hoping to find something wonderful. If you want to make it more 
popular, make a webcast or tutorials or something with Web2Py and spread it 
around. The issue I think is that Web2Py does not work with Python 3.x, 
whereas Django does. Perhaps we should look into 
http://pythonhosted.org/six/ six instead of rewriting the whole Web2Py.

2013-10-26 Thread Andreas Wienes
Thanks for all of your feedback. I've also started using web2py about two 
months ago and felt in love with it. It's so clear, simple to use, very 
well documented and the community is awesome. I'm grateful for the 
development and the quick and friendly support. But although all of this 
exists, there is still something missing in the web2py-universe. From my 
point of view, it's still too unpopular and doesn't seems so cool and 
"fancy"as it should. As a result of this, web2py isn't well know and there 
are still to less job offers for web2py developers. Most offers are for 
Rails or Django developers. I'm living in Germany and this is just my point 
of view. Hopefully the job market and spreading of web2py is better in your 
country.

I think, if we wanna try to become web2py more popular and to increase the 
job opportunities, we need to make it more 
attractive. http://killer-web-development.com/ is a good approach doing 
this. The rails-world is full of pages like this. Most of you know 
Railscast and stuff like Rails for zombies. I tried Rails, because it's 
popularity and shiny community. But at the end I was frustrated about all 
the magic, different ways of solving problems and hidden complexity. 
Exploring web2py gave me new hope and web development was funny again. 
Let's add some shine and coolness to it and it could be nearly perfect.  

A page like "the best way to learn web2py" could help to reach more people 
and let our community grow. 

I collected some material and made a first draft using 
Evernote. 
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s137/sh/9248dc08-d669-4b03-beb5-e3dcddc7e66b/f65523796758735f6d58dd8c31246ad5
My next steps would be to collect something more, write some short 
descriptions and start a simple wordpress based website. Every kind of help 
and productive criticism is welcome.
