Greetings All, I'm new here. Congratulations on building a great framework and community! I hope to learn and contribute along with you.
I don't have a specific technical problem. However, I will share a question stemming from my current state of curiosity about web app architectures that you might enjoy chiming in on: *Where does web2py fall between the polar extremes of Single Page Applications (SPA) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-page_application>and Resource Oriented Client Architecture (ROCA) <http://roca-style.org/>, and in which direction would you personally like to see it shift in the future (for web3py and web3py backports to web2py)? *(It's possible that by ignorance, I've selected a poor choice of opposites. In which case you might suggest your own pair.) *Personal Context* (in case your curious): *Motivation: *To create food planning/shopping related web app to disrupt the way things are currently done ; Fall-back plan to become expert in all things web app related (development and design). I'm in it for the long haul! *Stack History:* I started studying web dev a year ago and studied an immature SPA framework for several months, after learning the basics of JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Through my naivety I only recently discovered the problems involved with SPA regarding SEO crawlability etc. Instead of "JavaScript Everywhere!" as advertised, PHP was recommended to handle the server-side stuff. I choose not to learn PHP out of concern for its security and overall design incohesiveness. I compared Rails and Django. Python's readability won out. While Django's community is larger, I sense something special going on here and I want to be a part of it. Also, the web2py components and built in ajax support clinched it for me. I enjoyed the free CS101 course in Python at Udacity.com, but it didn't cover OO, so I'm now reading Monty/Karel in Python<http://www.amazon.com/Monty-Karel-Introduction-Object-Oriented-Programming/dp/0970579527>. I hope to be up to speed soon. In the mean time, *if I can help with anything at all, please let me know.* * * All my best, Jay Meals7, Inc. webapphero.com -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
