Python

Checking out TurboGears

On the recommendation of Ted Leung (a former boss of mine and a font of programming wisdom) I decided to look into TurboGears. WOW!

I have seen all kinds of claims along the lines of “this framework is so special because . . .” – and well, most of them just don’t live up to it.

TurboGears does exactly what it says. It provides a means for rapid web application development. And as proof they provide a video that shows the creation of a wiki in right around 23 minutes, start to finish. It doesn’t get much better than that, now does it?
