Read an introductory article on O'Reilly Net

MacDevCenter, part of O'Reilly Net, has a feature article about TurboGears: What Is TurboGears (Hint: Python-Based Framework for Rapid Web Development). Matthew Russell gives a quick introduction to TurboGears and the article also includes an interview with Kevin Dangoor, project leader.


python powered

TurboGears is based on the agile, mature, cross-platform, well-documented, easy and fun Python programming language.

Python makes it super simple to get started with TurboGears, whether you're running Windows, Linux, Mac OS X or even a cell phone. OK, so you're probably not going to want to run a web server on your cell phone.

Any way you slice it, you'll be amazed how quickly you get started!
