Thanks for all of your feedback. I've also started using web2py about two months ago and felt in love with it. It's so clear, simple to use, very well documented and the community is awesome. I'm grateful for the development and the quick and friendly support. But although all of this exists, there is still something missing in the web2py-universe. From my point of view, it's still too unpopular and doesn't seems so cool and "fancy"as it should. As a result of this, web2py isn't well know and there are still to less job offers for web2py developers. Most offers are for Rails or Django developers. I'm living in Germany and this is just my point of view. Hopefully the job market and spreading of web2py is better in your country.
I think, if we wanna try to become web2py more popular and to increase the job opportunities, we need to make it more attractive. http://killer-web-development.com/ is a good approach doing this. The rails-world is full of pages like this. Most of you know Railscast and stuff like Rails for zombies. I tried Rails, because it's popularity and shiny community. But at the end I was frustrated about all the magic, different ways of solving problems and hidden complexity. Exploring web2py gave me new hope and web development was funny again. Let's add some shine and coolness to it and it could be nearly perfect. A page like "the best way to learn web2py" could help to reach more people and let our community grow. I collected some material and made a first draft using Evernote. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s137/sh/9248dc08-d669-4b03-beb5-e3dcddc7e66b/f65523796758735f6d58dd8c31246ad5 My next steps would be to collect something more, write some short descriptions and start a simple wordpress based website. Every kind of help and productive criticism is welcome. - Andreas -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
