Mobile web apps on tablets : the web2py framework revisited

  • Author name and contact details: fpp on talk.maemo.org
  • Intended audience: users
  • Talk type: presentation
  • Abstract/description
Last year in Berlin I gave a longish advocacy talk about the merits of web apps on the tablets, as a way for "normal humans" to fill their own needs. I also advocated Python and a framework called web2py for doing this, and ended with a peek at one of my real-life apps. I did not go into any technical detail however.
If the schedule allows it, I thought I might do a follow-up this year, focusing on a more in-depth presentation of web2py : its general philosophy, what services are offered, a tour of its friendly web administration and development interface, etc. No actual coding, except for a few typical idioms and a demo app.
  • Additional Information (optional)
by its very nature this can be presented and demoed from a PC, so nothing special
I realize this is very far from this year's core themes, but just in case :-)
  • Author bio
fpp's main claims to fame are : being amongst the oldest InternetTabletTalk forum users (11-03-2005) ; certainly the most obnoxious Frenchman there ; and owning every model of tablet available since 2005.
