Rapid Web Applications with TurboGears: Using Python to Create Ajax-Powered Sites

Rapid Web Applications with TurboGears: Using Python to Create Ajax-Powered Sites

Master TurboGears: The Easy Python Framework for Rapid Web Development

TurboGears harnesses the power of Python to provide a dynamic and easy-to-use Web development framework: one that
dramatically increases developer productivity, and makes it far easier to create dynamic, user-friendly, Ajax-enabled Web applications. Now, for the first time, there�s a definitive guide to TurboGears�coauthored by its creator, Kevin Dangoor.

This book will help experienced Web developers get productive with TurboGears�fast. You�ll quickly build your first TurboGears Web application�then extend it one step at a time, mastering the underlying libraries that make these enhancements possible. Next, the authors demonstrate TurboGears at work in a real-world application, by examining the code for �WhatWhat Status,� an open source project status tracking application. Finally, you�ll gain deep insight into the model, view, and controller technologies TurboGears is built upon: knowledge that will help you build far more robust and capable Python applications.

Coverage includes

  • Understanding the architecture of a TurboGears application
  • Mastering SQLObject, customizing it, and using it with TurboGears models
  • Utilizing TurboGears view technologies, including dynamic templates and MochiKit for Ajax
  • Bringing CSS, XHTML, and JavaScript together in reusable components with TurboGears Widgets
  • Using CherryPy and TurboGears controller technologies: from decorators to deployment
  • Exploring the TurboGears toolbox
  • Ensuring security and managing user access permissions in TurboGears applications
