Thanks. > However, I am > pretty much new to TG and web design and come from a PHP background. I > know python relatively well but find TG confusing. You can definitely skip the Fast Track section and go directly to the SQLObject, Kid, and CherryPy reference sections.

If you can point out some specific examples, I'll be sure to update the website for the book to add explanations anything that's unclear. > If wanted, I can write a more specific feedback to the chapters I have > read and don't understand, if that helps.

I would definitely love to hear your feedback, and I'll do what I can do improve your experience with the book and with TurboGears. ;) > The only book on the market for TG is going to focuse on SQLObject and > kid!

SQLObject and Kid will be the defaults in the 1.0 release, and Genshi and SQLAlchemy weren't even on the radar when we origonally wrote those chapters ;) I plan to create online addendum for Genshi and SQLAlchemy as they are added to official TurboGears releases. > Also, I do have a request and would be willing to help.

I've got a couple of Documentation Sprints in the works, and you're suggestions for possible documentation improvements would be a great help. -- Mark Ramm-Christensen email: mark at compoundthinking dot com blog: www.compoundthinking.com/blog --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
