Work log May 28 - June 5

My work is to add new features to and modify the CSDT website, which was built in Python using the Pyramid framework. Pyramid is a relatively new Python framework as part of the Pylons Project. Pyramid was created around December 2010, while another popular Python framework Django was developed in 2005.

1. I installed Pyramid on my local desktop for development and learned how to write the simplest Pyramid application. However, it took more time to understand why we use those functions and how those functions work, such as application configuation.

2. Next, I read more about the Pyramid documentation, and got familiar with topics: create Pyramid project, startup, request processing, and URL Dispatch.

3. Since I am a web development beginner, I am also learning HTML and CSS with guide at http://htmldog.com.


What to do next:
I plan to follow the SQLAlchemy+URL Dispatch Wiki and ZODB+Traversal Wiki tutorials to practice building websites using Pyramid.
