Python Web Development: Rapid Web Applications With TurboGears

If you develop applications for the web, you have heard of Kevin Dangoor's TurboGears project. Kevin has taken a suite of web technologies and written a Python wrapper for it in order to create a web development framework. The end result is SQL database management without SQL queries and AJAX without knowing Javascript. All you really need is Python.

To help users work with this framework, Mark Ramm, Kevin Dangoor, and Gigi Sayfan published Rapid Web Applications with TurboGears in November 2006. It is an exhaustive treatment of TurboGears' API as it stands now. If you are thinking about working with TurboGears or develop with it currently, you will benefit from it. The coverage of TurboGears was comprehensive enough to garner 4 stars in my review.
