Lecture 1

Lecture Material

• Slides of the introductory portion of the lecture.
• Code developed in Lecture 1; in particular, look at the ending point of the lecture 1 branch. Here are shortcuts to the code we wrote (rather than the whole app):
• default.py
• index.html
• web2py package for lecture1; you can upload this in web2py by choosing "upload and install packed application" from the admin menu in web2py (see video of lecture 1).

For Next Time

• Install web2py as indicated here.
  • Read Chapter 1 of the web2py book, and read the Startup and Simple Examples sections of Chapter 3 in the same book.
• Get the class code by either installing the web2py package, or (better) by cloning the git repository. To do the latter, assuming that your web2py installation is in a directory called web2py, do:

cd web2py/applications

git clone https://luca_de_alfaro@bitbucket.org/luca_de_alfaro/web2py_start_2016.git start

git checkout lecture1

and start web2py with:

cd ../.. # go back to directory above web2py

python web2py/web2py.py -e

• Create a local branch of git of your own:
• Play with the code. Try to modify it and see what happens.
