It's a great framework when you know you can make a quick application for
some problem at the office on your lunch break.  You can't do that in many
webframeworks, I tell you that much. (I made a lunch coordination software
in about an hour.) Congrats and good luck!

 all is.

 Java in it's own way is okay, just so much boiler plate code and some of
 the frameworks have you writing pages of XML that has no equivalent in
 web2py mainly because it follows a philosophy similar to Ruby on Rails
 (convention not configuration).

 Maybe see you back if you do more with web2py.

 and I) that we would be using a framework called Web2py I was not
 the very enthused..  and believe me when I tell you that half of the
 semester was crazy.. no one wanted to learn the framework because it
 was so hard and according to the majority they didn't understand
 it(in my opinion prob because most of us never worked with a framework
 and also because we were so reluctant to change our work methods). It
 got to the point where people were blaming their failure on Web2py. Up
 till now ,with my last 2 assignments , Web2py was the reason why they
 could not complete it.. I must admit though, I hated the framework
 when i started. It was the first course that I literally had no clue
 as to what I was doing(meaning I also blamed Web2py). Now my my.. to
 my surprise,  I am doing what i could not fathom at the beginning of
 the semester.. I definitely  have learnt to appreciate Web2py.. it has
 taught me far more than I expected... and my classmates (the ones that
 have woken up to change) have realized  and has openly expressed that
 as well.. So again thank you all for all your efforts to assist!!

 Special thanks to Massimo Di Pierro..(smiles)

Good for you on the course completion. There is a lot to learn especially if 
you have never done web development before of this type. For web development 
many people do HTML/CSS and to a lesser degree Javascript only so the server 
only pushes pages that are pre-canned. I worked with Java for many years 
doing server development and by comparison web2py is a dream. Part of the 
comparative ease of use is Python but much of it is the organization and 
integration of web2py. At first it looks like magic, then you learn a little 
because magic is an uneasy feeling but as you gain experience you learn some 
more and start to realize how well put together it all is.

Java in it's own way is okay, just so much boiler plate code and some of the 
frameworks have you writing pages of XML that has no equivalent in web2py 
mainly because it follows a philosophy similar to Ruby on Rails (convention 
not configuration).

Maybe see you back if you do more with web2py.
