Hi there, firstly wanted to say thanks to the developers for building such a fantastic and easy to use web framework i especially like the intuitiveness of the design and web application development interface.
Secondly, an introduction and some questions. I've been trying to learn django for a few weeks now by way of building my own blog. I got to a decent stage where the blog would actually be functional but I was constantly troubled by the django 'newforms'. Its honestly a dazzling array of functions and code that was beyond my ability to learn. I've recently undertaken at the age of 32/33 to teach myself programming, having been in the web and IT industries for over ten years as an analyst. I've got to the stage where I can build a few decent console python applications & scripts, use classes, modules, and create functions - and have a basic level understanding of object oriented programming. But django newforms was just beyond me! Enter Web2py, I've been working through the cookbook plus pdf file. I got to page 11/12 "creating functions(Actions" and hit a small road block: Question: how does one learn how to build / develop / understand the controllers? I looked at the code in 11/12 and wondered what it meant exactly, this may be slightly made worse by the fact that the db in the example is actually called 'db'. Was there a function called 'db' in the code provided? How does one best learn to develop the controllers and learn what the various functions in the example are? Thanks for getting this far in your reading :-) I hope I can learn from you all in some way and help contribute if I can.
