At SHDH day 0, which is a four hour get together. My goals for the weekend:
1) Learn some Python
2) Learn some TurboGears
3) Write a useful web application
That's right, I'm probably the least skilled programmer here, and I've decided to give TurboGears a try instead of rails as everyone else seems to be using. Hopefully I'll get it installed on the competition server. I just got it installed on my laptop last night, which was a small victory.
I'm starting with the todo-list application from Brian Beck.
First thing I noticed is that there are several gotchas in the wiki that will prevent the app from running on an up-to-date version of TurboGears. All the tutorials look broken this way. That is, bugs in the latest version prevent the tutorial instructions from being valid. I'll file documentation bugs for the tutorials.
O.K. I made the mistake of having a beer and it's looking like I'll get the todolist app up tonight, at best.
