We'll be holding our regular meeting @ Linux Caffe tomorrow evening. My proposed topic of the evening: Web development frameworks, structures, experiences and suggestions We have an embarrassment of riches in Python, yet no single Web Framework has emerged as being a reasonable "obvious choice" for all web development projects. What do we as developers want to see from a web framework, what comes close, where does it fall down. We'll try to keep presentation-style stuff to 5-10 minutes for any given framework so that we can have a lively discussion about features, approaches, assumptions and suggestions for how to improve on the frameworks. My own interest is more in how the frameworks help or hinder when "programming in the large", but hearing about quick-and-dirty project support is likely to be just as interesting to everyone. Linux Caffe is located at Grace and Harbord, just South of Christie station. It has free wifi, so if you have online demonstrations of web frameworks, feel free to bring a laptop. I'll have a Linux Laptop available for those who want to show us the shock and awe of their favourite framework, but keep in mind that we want to hear what's *wrong* with it too, not just sales pitches (and no "it's perfect, it's just not widely known enough" cop-outs). If you'd like to do a couple of minute presentation on your favourite or current framework, let me know and I'll schedule people to talk. We'll try to keep the whole thing civil, of course, this is Python, after all.
