From core developers to community members, we have started doing something for TurboGears. It deserves it. We love it. We want to spread it. That's why, if you are wondering.

I have started a blog on TurboGears development. For you. For any web developer. For any Python web developer. You will start from scratch and become an advanced TurboGears developer. You will like it. You will become very productive with TurboGears.

You can visit the blog at http://tglogs.wordpress.com.

Let me know your ideas, your suggestions and feedback.

Enjoy!

As a Python developer and TurboGears user, I will let you guys know what is going on with TurboGears lately and will let you have a chance with TurboGears.

TurboGears Introduction

A Short Introduction First

TurboGears is a full stack MVC web framework that is built on top of Pylons and which includes an ORM, a templating system, database migration tool, web helpers, authentication and authorization system by default just like Django. If you are wondering, there are two main differences between Django and TurboGears.

  • TurboGears is using class based controllers and object dispatch.

  • TurboGears is built using external Python libraries such as Pylons, WebOB, paster whereas everything in Django is built for Django.

It's one of my favourites in terms of extensibility and productivity. Pyramid use the MTV pattern just like Django and does not impoze ORM or template decisions for you. However if you are a Pylons, Flask and Django developer already, I strongly recommend using pyramid_routesalchemy paster template.

Pyramid is also known for its extensibility and I have noticed people getting confused on Pyramid extensibility. Pyramid is a Python library so you can go ahead and easy_install any Python library and use it for your own good.

You can extend Pyramid within two ways.

  • By writing a plugin for it.
  • By the freedom provided by the Pyramid API.

It has been a long time since my last post. I actually have a draft post where I introduce Scala to you guys but I don't have the feeling of its being ready to post so you'll have to wait. :)

Pylons is the second most used Python web framework and in my opinion it's the best Python framework. Pylons simply provides you the environment you need for web development and lets you choose the tools for database and templating. I'm sure you will like it. I'm currently developing my start up with Pylons.

I am here to tell you about the new Pylons screencast series that I will be recording in the upcoming week. No, we are not going to build a blog or a twitter clone. What I have in mind is a clone of eksi sozluk, one of the most popular web sites of Turkey. You can think of it as a different Wikipedia.

The name of the series will be "Eksi on Pylons". Stay tuned for more news!

Update (10/31/2010): Pylons2 will be released soon and it will be something very different than it is now so the recording the screencasts is postponed until the first Pylons2 stable release.
