The LETS tutorial¶

To be honest: there is no simple recipe for becoming an application developer. You need to learn the possibilities of the framework. That’s called “experience”. You get experience using exercise and training. The following tutorial was written to help you on this journey.

We are going to explore a fictive application to run a Local Exchange Trade System (LETS). The users of that site would register the products and services they want to sell or to buy. The goal is to connect the “providers” and the “customers”. We don’t care whether and how transactions actually occur, neither about history… we just help them to find each other.

This might seem a bit too simple for a real-life website, but let’s imagine that this is what our customer asked us to do.
