Hi,
I am developing a new project, new to python. Project is mainly for CRUD,
display data on website, and easy management of back end. I started
Djangobook and finished it, I felt like it was great and I could go in to
eclipse, create my models, validate, and then make my forms on site..pretty
simple (Although I am sure I am missing something).
Then I came to find Web2py, initially, I am super stoked about it, however
I can't seem to mesh with the documentation very well. Maybe I am missing
something. I feel like djangobook held my hand and spoke about the main
concepts of django, but in web2py, it jumps right into these super long
pages , and don't really explain whats happening in the back. Also, I am
running web2py on my machine, ubuntu, as well as another win7 machine. It
feels sluggish. Anyone else experience this? Is this whe web based IDE
causing it? Its difficult to switch through browser tabs / windows to make
changes to things, validate errors, read the book..It just felt like django
+ eclipse + djangobook + terminalx was easier to manipulate. I could use
terminal to quickly validate things and find errors, which djangobook
explained thouroughly.
I recently went on to IRC and was told to look at the Vimeo videos. The
first one just jumped into features, and did not seem like a in depth
tutorial. I really want to use Web2py, I think it will make my life easier
when deploying apps, creating forms quickly, etc, but it just doesnt feel
streamlined, I feel like alt tabbing and inputting code makes me wait
longer than I had to in eclipse. I am having these weird issues getting it
going. Anyone experience anything like this? Should I just push through it
?
