Thanks for these links, Mark.  I had not come across Full Stack Python
previously.  It appears to be a goldmine of useful information!

I think I will put off doing ORM studies until I get into something
more substantial than I am currently working with.  Besides, after
reading the Joel Spolsky article on leaky data abstractions, it
appears to be a wise move to get proficient in SQL first before going
on to ORMs.
