Hi,
I am developing a new project, new to python. Project is mainly for
CRUD, display data on website, and easy management of back end. I
started Djangobook and finished it, I felt like it was great and I
could go in to eclipse, create my models, validate, and then make my
forms on site..pretty simple (Although I am sure I am missing something).
Then I came to find Web2py, initially, I am super stoked about it,
however I can't seem to mesh with the documentation very well. Maybe I
am missing something. I feel like djangobook held my hand and spoke
about the main concepts of django, but in web2py, it jumps right into
these super long pages , and don't really explain whats happening in
the back. Also, I am running web2py on my machine, ubuntu, as well as
another win7 machine. It feels sluggish. Anyone else experience this?
Is this whe web based IDE causing it? Its difficult to switch through
browser tabs / windows to make changes to things, validate errors,
read the book..It just felt like django + eclipse + djangobook +
terminalx was easier to manipulate. I could use terminal to quickly
validate things and find errors, which djangobook explained thouroughly.
I recently went on to IRC and was told to look at the Vimeo videos.
The first one just jumped into features, and did not seem like a in
depth tutorial. I really want to use Web2py, I think it will make my
life easier when deploying apps, creating forms quickly, etc, but it
just doesnt feel streamlined, I feel like alt tabbing and inputting
code makes me wait longer than I had to in eclipse. I am having these
weird issues getting it going. Anyone experience anything like this?
Should I just push through it ?
