Actually getting somewhere.

June 7th, 2007

Having put in all the work for a nice infrastructure for my current project, I think that it’s beginning to pay off.  Now I can make changes to my TurboGears app in JEdit, have the changes picked up by CherryPy‘s auto-reload feature and test and debug in a very tight cycle.  Then when I’m happy with them I can push them upstream with a quick subversion check in, and a few seconds later my changes are running on the production machine.  All in all, I feel as if programming could actually become pleasant again.  And I must say that TurboGears is a nice way to develop GUI’s – describing the layout in XHTML is far nicer than all the grief I used to have to go back in the day when I was building desktop apps with MFC.
