Dear pyramid developers, do you think that for someone learning pyramid there are besides the well written docs enough sample applications & tutorials? I do not think this with regards to an intermediate developers looking for an advanced application.
Many of you probably know pyramid application ToDoPyramid. It is listed here <http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_tutorials/en/latest/>as one of the available pyramid tutorials, hosted on GitHub<https://github.com/indypy/todopyramid> and was presented at IndyPy Web Shootout by Claytron Parker I think Claytron & SixFeetUp did a great job and from my point of view it is the most advanced tutorial application. Since then almost nothing happened within the project except a few issues on GitHub. In order to learn using sqlalchemy and deform I cloned the project, explored the application and did some large refactoring of several concepts. Today I created a pull request<https://github.com/indypy/todopyramid/pull/4>. My main goals for development were to increase readability for pyramid beginners, applying DRY principles, start writing unit tests for important parts of the code to fill the quality gap to almost all available tutorials from the narrative documentation. These tutorials are well explained but of course limited in complexity and do not look like those shiny web applications we are surrounded by. But ToDoPyramid is pretty much one of these guys - but there is only the code at GitHub. There is still a lot to do to make ToDoPyramid a better fit to python/pyramid beginners. It just seems like a simple application, but TodoPyramid solves a lot of problems that an application developers is faced nowadays. These implementations can mostly be changed/extended independently from others. And python/pyramid has so many wonderful concepts to implement them in a beautiful way. Besides that there is also some Javascript work to do. Anybody who wants to help to improve TodoPyramid and keep it up-to-date while addressing beginners and intermediate developers is invited to push the project into that direction.
