"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from
magic."
Arthur C. Clarke, "Profiles of The Future", 1961 (Clarke's third
law)
After getting the tutorial example to work, then making a first-draft
version of my proposed application, I hit a wall trying to do
something that seemed both essential and straightforward. After 3
days of trying various strategies, I decided that what I needed might
not be possible.
I spent about a day browsing all the relevant source code, plus
anything they used. I made one last pass through the posts here that
seemed related, and then hit the Snippets site.
Snippet #26 solved my problem, essentially in two lines. I could not
write those lines for myself now, and I'm not certain I'll ever be
able to do so.
Am I having a fairly normal introduction to a web framework? I cannot
see this as technology. All I see is magic.
