Introduction
Recently I've started playing around with two programming languages: Objective C and Python. I haven't done almost nothing with Python yet.
I've also been playing around with some HTML, mostly just to play around think about some things from a design perspective.
Big Picture: Some book reading, some personal playing around, and (before/apart from all this) some playing with PHP and stuff to tweak scripts like Rapidleech mean I know some, but not much.
I'm assuming I'll be here with a lot of questions as I play around with all this. =D
On To The Question
While I've been able to get (mostly Objective C) to do some things for me, I haven't built any interfaces from scratch yet, and I DEFINITELY haven't played around with building any interface from the group up.
The site I'm hoping to develop/play with is going to involve presenting content to users. So while developing all this I'm trying to make sure I do it in such a way that it will (eventually) be able to have a bunch of people browsing content, and allowing multiple users (not too many, but hopefully a good few) adding content to the site. So (of course) the program/script (I still suck at using terminology correctly) will be dealing with a database (I play on using MySQL, since that's what I've used in the past with vBulletin).
While I've played with Python a little to do some introductory scripts, I haven't gotten to the point where I've been figuring out how stuff will be presented online.
Inspecting SABnzbd+, it doesn't seem like HTML is really determining what I'm looking at...Python code, PyQt making the interface....interfaceable, and me then being able to interact with the program through a socket? Is this a fair layperson way of understanding of what's going on and is this how I'm going to want the website to work?
I've flipped forward to some parts of the book that talk about having Python generate HTML pages, and sites like MoinMoin
seems to involve a lot more HTML...seems like maybe they're using some method like this?
Questions:
1) Are these two different ways of presenting information using Python as the core...development language?
- If yes, are there more?
- If yes, which method would be better to use for my site from a performance and user interface perspective (if the two are different for some reason, please explain).
2) If I figured out how I wanted the information presented using HTML now, would that be something I could/would use later?
I'd like to thank anyone who even decided to read this; the world is a better place for having people like you are in it. Selfishly, I'm even more grateful to anyone who will/has gone on to help me figure all this out! =D
