TurboGears ModelDesigner
November 28th, 2005
Yesterday, the ever-resourceful Ronald Jaramillo introduced ModelDesigner for TurboGears, which he introduced with a nice, quick screencast. ModelDesigner lets you create TurboGears (SQLObject) model classes via some easy web forms.
ModelDesigner is part of the TurboGears Toolbox coming in 0.9. Ronald hasn’t checked it in to svn yet, but he promises to do so sometime soon.
Turbogears is growing up very fast. Its simply amazing to watch what you’ve started Kevin. Kudos to you and the others involved. Now, I know I will speak against the flow of the current trend, but I think Turbogears is going to overtake Ruby on Rails. Python just simply has a larger and more mature library, as well as triple the amount of developers than Ruby. Now before I get tagged as a troll, I use BOTH frameworks and like them BOTH. I just think Turbogears is going to be a major player in the end when the so called Web 2.0 era is being sorted out by the eggheads.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mark!
Ruby on Rails has quite a headstart, but you’re right that Python has a bigger base which gives TurboGears a leg up in one way.
