Re: [Pythoncard-users] What Project is a good one to start on?

[Lance H. <lh...@ha...>]

Andy,

I am new to Python and Pythoncard and have just finished working through 
Alan Gauld's book "Learn to Program Using Python".
It has been a great way to learn about python and programming.

I was going to build an app that generates a webpage to display server 
status for Novell servers from a list of IP addresses and names.
I have been looking at the examples and I have seen your db browser and 
also the custdb sample.

The custdb sample has helped me to create the GUI and also to populate 
the fields from a csv file. I have a problem that the app does not 
refresh the list properly and was wondering if I should use sqllite instead.

Anyway thanks a million for the suggestion

Lance
