Web2py cheatsheet

Maybe it can include  blogs about web2py from the users of web2py-users group, exemple Omi Chiba, Bruno or Martin Mulone, (to cite a few).

For those without any prior python knowledge, is it useful or essential to first exercise it, using the learnpythonthehardway book for example? Or would it confuse, and is the advise to dive directly into web2py?

I think you can dive directly into web2py (especially if you go through the Python chapter in the book), but it's certainly a good idea to gain some expertise in Python more generally as well.

What about for some of the jquery/JSON specific ideas?  What recommendations do you have for those of us who are clueless in those factions? :)

This is a very useful topic. 

I have found this site to be very useful. It is for beginners:

http://killer-web-development.com/ 

[Fabiano]

This thread has a very useful collection references and resources.

I've seen a lot of great stuff on this list but over time it gets harder to dig the mailing due the high amount of messages. I understand somethings don't fit on the main website and putting things in there requires some effort and overhead (review, maintenance, access, etc.).

Have you guys considered using a wiki for this kind of stuff? I think this kind of information could easily be placed in there and maintained by the community.

The Google Code project hosting where the Issues tracker is already has a wiki which could be used, so there is no need to setup one.

What you think of this suggestion?

Fabiano.

[Anthony]

You can post recipes and articles here: http://www.web2pyslices.com. There was at least one wiki in the past, but it became neglected and ultimately abandoned.

Does anyone know who runs web2pyslices? Something has gone wrong and it issues tickets... Maybe it's worth to mention it to the admin.

Up and running now. Please check it. We have been adding some features for preventing spam and also the new package database (web2py reusable projects). I will post the changes in a new thread.

I like it!

You might want to take a look at

<http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BeginnersGuides>

to choose a tutorial for Hg.  I believe the red-bean book is being updated as an Mercurial project, but I don't think they've released an "RC1" yet.

Also, note that Web2Py admin includes hooks into Mercurial ... it finds the installed Hg on your system and provides 1-button commits.  (There might be an issue with find Mercurial if you are using TortoiseHg on Windows ... more investigation needed.)

BTW, I've taken the liberty of adding Web2Py to the list on this Mercurial Wiki page:

<http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ProjectsWithSynchronizedMercurialRepositories>

And this is another good source control introduction:

<http://www.ericsink.com/vcbe/>

(Examples in git, mercurial, and Eric's employer's system)

[Andreas Wienes]

Thanks for your feedback. I'll check the different Mercurial guides and update my website, if I find a better solution.

web2py Best Practices by martin Mulone translated to english by me.

Download "web2py Best Practices.pdf"

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Nice, when did Martin write the original version? I do not remember seeing this before.

[Alfonso Serra]

No idea, i just know that is pure gold. A set of bests practices to structure your application.
I found this in a post in this user group. Someone was pointing someone else to the original pdf in order to answer a question.

[Alessio Varalta]

I think is helpful to report this pdf document in web2py overview becase for example the part of class don't exist in this moment on the site guide and for example I search this information in these days

Note, there's nothing special or web2py-specific about the classes shown in that document (i.e., they are just straightforward Python classes that happen to manipulate web2py objects within their methods). Furthermore, instances of the classes do not give you access to either DAL Table objects or individual records, so their usefulness is limited (in other words, this is nothing like an ORM). The classes could just as easily be implemented as simple functions. More advanced (ORM-like) functionality is possible via built-in DAL features, such as virtual/method fields and table methods.

Is there a place to gather all this stuff to centralize and make easy to be found for anyone? Sometimes, the original documentation e even the source (no "Luke" for you) can't help at all, specially for newcomers. If the answer is no, I think a github repository would be easy to create and maintained by community. 

[Richard Vézina]

I thought recently to do just that, I mean gather stuff from good thread on the mailing list and pile them somewhere so they don't get lost and we can get back to them more easilly...

Anyway you find convenient for you is good, so someone else can then start from more structured source of data and make even more reliable ressources...

What do you envision putting there that wouldn't go here: http://www.web2pyslices.com

[Richard Vézina]

There is also : www.web2pyref.com

@Anthony web2py-slice is definitively a good place though I remember Massimo's mention that Bruno want to stop maintaining it??

Bruno tried to pass the domain to me but godaddy prevented us. Not sure what the status is but I will talk to Bruno.

I just asked if there was one place to gather resources about web2py and when Richard shared some similiar thoughts, I did a search on github and a quick search on Google and couldn't nothing related (web2slices I already know, but I'll get there), even www.web2pyref.com. So I created a repository to start something about it. I think web2slices is outdated, not friendly and a bit messy. I get more good solutions from stackoverflow or source code rather search something on there. My envision is build something like:

• https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python 
  
• https://github.com/vsouza/awesome-ios
  
• Or https://github.com/juarezpaf/ionic-adventures

But if community thinks that web2ref is the way to go or start, so let's do it, but we have to spread the word and make it really open to collaboration.

web2py video bookmarks

Massimo's 4 web2py videos are 11 hours long so its hard to find specifics subjects.
With this tool you can create VLC Player bookmarks which helps to quickly find any subject.

demo video

vlclist.zip

How to use it:

Easy way:
- Download and install vlc player from http://www.videolan.org
- Download all 4 web2py videos from vimeo with any browser plugin
     https://vimeo.com/user315328
- Rename the videos as:
    Web development with Python and web2py Part1.mp4
    Web development with Python and web2py Part2.mp4
    Web development with Python and web2py Part3.mp4
    Web development with Python and web2py Part4.mp4
- copy playlist.xspf to the same folder as the videos
- open playlist.xpsf with VLC player
- Press Ctrl + B to display the bookmarks or go to Playback -> Custom Bookmarks

Hard way:
(generate playlist.xpsf with your custom bookmarks)
- Download and Install python 2.7 from www.python.org
- Download all 4 web2py videos
- copy vlclist.py to the same folder as the videos
- edit bookmarks.txt with your own bookmarks
- run python vlclist.py -b bookmarks.txt
a playlist.xpsf will be generated with your custom bookmarks.


Cheers

Hello, I found another awesome tutorial for beginners to supplement Massimo's 5 series videos as a preliminary first steps video for beginners.

As a person moving from an old Delphi history to web frameworks and having discovered the incredible contribution of Massimo - realizing that the BARE BONES initial understanding seems difficult, but... along comes MIKA...

Check it out!
https://www.udemy.com/web-engineering-with-python-and-web2py/learn/v4/content

Created by Mika Sjöman, For now, the course is free on Udemy since it is under development.
This course is about building web apps by learning web engineering and Python programming at the same time. We will be using a framework called Web2py which was created to make learning programming easy and enjoyable. But Web2py has also become a popular framework because it has turned out to be fast, scalable and that it allows for extreme developer productivity.

Another tool for Firefox that may help to develop your applications.

This AutoHotKey script reloads your browser and removes the repost Confirmation dialog whenever you press Ctrl + S.
So if you save your code in any editor Firefox will show the changes.

Havent tested for Chrome but it may work if you edit the script and replace "Firefox" for "Google Chrome".

Also Control + t sets the active window on top of any others.

You will have to install  https://autohotkey.com/
Download the script attached to this post.
Run the script livereload.ahk
