With my previous employer, I used web2py to build a few basic
applications. One was an application to input and track inventory
mistakes in warehouse operations. Another was a similar application to
input and track the results of daily audits performed by each
warehouse department. I also made an application to provide a daily
report of the toner and maintenance kit status in 40+ of our
production printers. Lastly, I made an application that our IT
department used to manage the logins and permissions of users for each
of these applications.
These projects were part of a bigger initiative to ween the facility
off of dependence on dozens of large and unmaintained Microsoft Access
databases. The rapid-development and multi-database-friendliness of
web2py made it the best tool for what I needed.

I won't be able to provide the company name, as I haven't maintained
contact with my previous employer. Likewise, I will not be able to
provide a screenshot, as the layout was branded with company logos.

I really like working with web2py. It's the first and only framework I
have learned so far, and these applications were the first of anything
useful I have built outside of "Hello World" in any language I have
ever attempted learning. By no means, do I consider myself a
programmer... and that's why I think python and web2py works for me
(the are, however, very talented programmers using web2py).

I was able to talk about this experience in a job-interview that
landed me at a company that offers MUCH more opportunity. I'd like to
thank everyone in the web2py community for being so much help and
doing such a great job.

Yours Truly...
