You can use eclipse to develop your web2py apps and avoid the alt+tab problem.
If you really like the "IDE experience" I suggest you to try wingIDE. Also you can just use a terminal with emacs, VI or whatever you like to work. No need to even open the web admin interface. The documentation, at a first level, is focused on "how to use web2py to develop an app quickly and easy using all the web2py helpers and API's" If you have the need to know exactly what is happening on the background, so you need to take the abstraction off, you need to know some Python and go to the source code. The source + the shell = the best docs to understand what is going on behind all the magic. http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno Em 23/03/2012 01:15, "SeamusJP" <jpmorri...@gmail.com> escreveu: > Hi, > I am developing a new project, new to python.
