just following this conversation, is it normal for a newb, to not understand
what are you guys talking about? and to my understanding you are saying that
web2py is an app itself and all we do create different components and deploy
it. and we assign one component as primary or how does this work i mean lets
say i created a web application that is using that calculator so I will just
install that plugin in my web2py and which ever view I want to use i will
use that load command?
I am sorry for sounding stupid.
thanks
