Session 1 - MVC Applications and Data Persistence
19-
-------------------------------------------------
20-
21-
In this session we will begin by introducing the idea of an MVC (*Model View
22-
Controller*) application. We'll discuss this popular application design
23-
pattern and talk about the ways in which it does and does not apply to the
24-
world of web applications.
25-
26-
We'll get started with our first application, a learning journal written in the
27-
lignt but powerful *Pyramid* web framework. We'll set up a development
28-
environment and install the framework and dependencies. We'll create our first
29-
*models* and experiment with persisting data to a database.

Session 2 - Pyramid Views, Renderers and Forms
46-

47-

In this session we extend our understanding of the MVC design pattern by
49-
learning how Pyramid implements the *view* and *controller* aspects.
50-
51-
Pyramid *views* represent the *controller* part of the MVC pattern, and we'll
52-
create a number of them. We'll also learn how Pyramid uses *routes* to properly
53-
connect the *path* requested by a client to the *views* run by a server.
54-
55-
We'll meet with Pyramid's *renderers*, the *view* in MVC. We'll start by using
56-
a built-in renderer that simply turns view data into strings sent back to the
57-
client as plain text responses. We'll then install a template-based renderer
58-
and use the *jinja2* template language to create visible HTML pages the brower
59-
can load to show our learning journal entries.
