Cheetah was - designed to complement Python, not replace it. - </li> - - <li>Cheetah$(apos)s core syntax should be easy for non-programmers to learn. - </li> - - <li>Cheetah should make code reuse easy by providing an object-oriented - interface to templates that is accessible from Python code or other - Cheetah templates. - </li> - - <li>Python objects, functions, and other data structures should be fully - accessible in Cheetah. - </li> - - <li>Cheetah should provide flow control and error handling. Logic - that belongs in the front end shouldn't be relegated to the - back end simply because it's complex. - </li> - - <li>It should be easy to <b>separate</b> content, graphic design, and program - code, but also easy to <b>integrate</b> them. - - <p>A clean separation makes it easier for a team of content writers, - HTML/graphic designers, and programmers to work together without stepping - on each other's toes and polluting each other's work. The HTML framework - and the content it contains are two separate things, and analytical - calculations (program code) is a third thing. Each team member should be - able to concentrate on their specialty and to implement their changes - without having to go through one of the others (i.e., the dreaded - "webmaster bottleneck"). </p> - - <p>While it should be easy to develop content, graphics and program code - separately, it should be easy to integrate them together into a website. In - particular, it should be easy: </p> - - <ul> - <li>for <b>programmers</b> to create reusable components and functions - that are accessible and understandable to designers. - </li> - <li>for <b>designers</b> to mark out placeholders for content and - dynamic components in their templates. - </li> - <li>for <b>designers</b> to soft-code aspects of their design that are - either repeated in several places or are subject to change. - </li> - <li>for <b>designers</b> to reuse and extend existing templates and thus - minimize duplication of effort and code. - </li> - <li>and, of course, for <b>content writers</b> to use the templates that - designers have created.</li> - </ul> - </li> - </ul> - -#end def -################################################################################ -#def creditsPageContents - -<p>Cheetah was created by Tavis Rudd, a freelance programmer and designer, with -contributions from many open source volunteers.
