What is pyramid_starter_seed

This tutorial should help you to start developing with the Pyramid web framework using a very minimal starter seed project based on:

• a Pyramid's pcreate -t starter project

• a Yeoman generator-webapp project

You can find the Pyramid starter seed code here on Github:

• pyramid_starter_seed

Thanks to Yeoman you can improve your developer experience when you are in development or production mode thanks to:

• Javascript testing setup

• Javascript code linting

• Javascript/CSS concat and minification

• image assets optimization

• html template minification

• switch to CDN versions of you vendor plugins in production mode

• uncss

• much more (you can add features adding new Grunt tasks)

We will see later how you can clone pyramid_starter_seed from github, add new features (eg: authentication, SQLAlchemy support, user models, a json REST API, add a modern Javascript framework as AngularJS, etc) and then launch a console script that helps you to rename the entire project with your more opinionated modifications, for example pyramid_yourawesomeproduct.
