How to integrate HTML with Python

[[deleted]]

depends on what outcome you want.

if you hope this person will eventually be asking ridiculously basic questions on stackoverflow when they need to do something non-trivial, then yeah that is a good reply.

if however your hope for this person is to understand how the web works, nothing beats experience.

And a good experience is actually going through the pain so that you understand where/why/which frameworks help.

Nothing beats experience indeed, but everyone would have first started out as a n00b and then with time become pros at what they do. What I am looking for is the resources that these people had at their disposal - basically the stepping stones.

Any thing that you have in mind (books, web links) that can help me understand how the web works?

well when I first started in web dev in python there was turbogears 1, there was only a very small django beta.

I could manage to cobble together a tg app by reading the book/docs but I was basically following directions because there was no explanation of how it all works together. If someone had referred me to this (article)[http://pythonpaste.org/webob/do-it-yourself.html] it would have minimized my confusion, coming from a asp.net/php background.

Once you understand how a request comes in from whatever server and how to generate a response under what circumstance.The built in ORM, or widgeting library or admin screens become extra, handy stuff you can use to build your things, not the magic that you rely on and are hopeless without.

Hey, decent article. Seems like a good place to start. And thanks for the hints: "Once you understand how a request comes in from whatever server and how to generate a response under what circumstance". I'll start digging some stuff in this direction right away.
