Getting up to speed with Pylons

True to the Pragmatic Programmer manifest “Invest Regularly in Your Knowledge Portfolio” I’ve recently been reading up on Python again. I’ve made several attempts but due to time constraints never managed to make anything of the knowledge.

I quite enjoy the Python syntax and some of the string manipulation functions are super awesome compared to what PHP has to offer. I had a look at the different web frameworks available, Pylons was the one that appealed to me the most and having spent some time with it today I must say that it doesn’t disappoint. They also have a very cool ebook available called The Pylons Book. I’ll keep you posted on how the adventure continues.
