Update 2008-11-11: The final Pylons book texts have been submitted to Apress for printing! Thank you for your overwhelming feedback over the last few months, it has been really appreciated but feedback is now closed. The next step is for me to take the final Apress chapters, convert them back to reStructuredText and then publish them online together with the source code. Realistically that probably won't happen until after the book is published though. Thanks again for your support, its been amazing!

We would really appreciate any feedback you have on this alpha release chapter. Please email any comments or suggestions to this address:
