Web Development Introduction Based On Web2py

[rock...@googlemail.com]

I published the first 3 chapters of my web development tutorial at http://killer-web-development.com

It's aimed at total web development beginners and uses web2py as framework.

The idea was to write a web development tutorial based on web2py, because web2py is the easiest

to use web development solution - maybe I can rescue a few people from starting with PHP.

The book aims to be an mixture of railstutorial.org and the Head First series. Lots of images and

very low level subject matter. A the end readers will develop a full microblogging service.

I would appreciate any feedback.

Best

this is remarkable! I hope  to see next chapters very soon..thank you

[Chandrakant Kumar]

In the section 3.2, where you create the .hgignore file, why did you put
'*' in there, that will make hg ignore all files in current directory.

[rock...@googlemail.com]

Thats a typo, it should be *~ for editor backup files.

Thank you

actually it is a problem with markmin plugin, it kills the ~

Maybe a view dns server do not know about the domain. The domain is hosted in Germany and the website on Fluxflex (this means Amazon cloud?).

Should go away, when all dns servers are updated.

Hi,

at http://killer-web-development.com/section/1/3 shows a diagram that
try to explain the MVC pattern that says:

[USER <-> CONTROLLER <-> VIEW, USER <-> CONTROLLER <-> MODEL <- DATABASE]

...but I think it should be as follows:

[USER <-> VIEW <-> CONTROLLER <-> MODEL <-> DATABASE]

...because user just interact directly with Views and these make the
request to controllers and/or models. Or am I wrong?

[kasapo]

Another way of looking at it is that the user is presented with views
(or more accurately, HTML rendered from a view by a controller using
the models) but interacts with controllers. Whenever a user clicks on
an application link on a view, the browser sends a request and the
controller handles it by dispatching data to a view and sending not
the view, but rather the rendered HTML. If you have more interactive
websites with javascript and ajax calls, then you are "interacting"
with the rendered HTML or view, but even then AJAX calls to a web2py
app talk to a controller that then sends a response.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "interacts," but from the
Marco's guide, he defines interaction as the HTTP request/response
cycle (e.g. clicking on a link and asking for a resource):

"When John's customers interact with a web2py-application via a
browser, they send a request, which is received by the web server and
passsed on to a controller."

So I think the way he defines it is really best, but it's good to
discuss these things I think.

Anyway, that's just my $0.02.

Good job Marco!

I like the graphics with the "penciled in" arrows. Also I had no idea
you could get a hosted app on fluxflex for free -- that's awesome.

Found an error with the links in the "Complete API" section ( /api )

e.g.
http://killer-web-development.com/docstring/SQLFORM

Any request that goes to docstring seems to generate an error.

Rock on and keep those chapters coming!

[mikech]

Bookmarked!  I like the approach as well.

[Andrew]

Also consider the picture in the Introduction of the book, where the
request first goes to the Model before going to the Controller. This
picture has helped me understand how the Model fits in and where the
request object comes from.

I think it would be confusing to change the order around, but it
depends if you're trying to show; how it works, or conceptually what
the user interaction is.

Having said that, it looks great ! I like the "Head First" style
of explanation, so I've bookmarked it too !

It is really great. I am planning to link it from the main web site

PS. *** will SOPA allow it? Or can I get in trouble?

I don't think so ;). This was meant sarcasticly, right?

[rock...@googlemail.com]

I have kicked the docstrings. They belong to web2py.com

[Massimo Di Pierro]

That was a joke. You can use any docstring and image from the web site
or web2py itself.

P.S. SOPA is a new proposed law in US that prohibits linking any
domain which may contain copied copyrighted material

Marco,

What does 'very low level' subject matter mean in this context?
Is that to mean 'very detailed'?

Hi Folks,

I am going through this excellent tutorial.

I am stuck at this section: http://killer-web-development.com/section/5/4.

The section tells me the create a menu. Which I did. In the menu all the links work fine. Ex. the help menu goes to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/tukker/default/help. As expected.

But the login menu goes to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/default/user/login and this throws up a invalid request. My menu.py looks like this:
response.menu = [
    (T('Home'), False, URL('default', 'index'), []),
    (T('Help'), False, URL('default', 'help'), []),
    (T('Login'), False, URL('default', 'user', 'login'), []),
    (T('Privacy'), False, URL('default', 'privacy'), []),
]

Am I doing something wrong? Please advice.

Regards,
Sundar

Try changing the third line in to

  (T('Login'), False, URL('default', 'user'), []),

and see whether it makes a difference.

Do you still have a 'def user():' function in your default controller?

Thanks for the reply. I did what you suggested but I get an error:

list index out of range

The def user(): function is there in the default controller. If I manually change the URL to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/tukker/default/user/login. I get the right page.

Then  
(T('Login'), False, URL('default', 'user/login'), []),
 

should work.
