Pyramid excels at building web applications in several fashions. Like Pylons before it, Pyramid can build traditional routes-oriented RDBMS applications using SQLAlchemy. Unlike other RDBMS based web frameworks, Pyramid is also very well equipped to easily build content-oriented applications familiar from the world of Zope and Plone.
Since this is a tutorial for the Plone Conference, we are choosing a scenario that plays to Pyramid’s strengths in content-style applications. Namely, a hierarchical project management system where you can assign tasks to teams.
For the purposes of this tutorial, the application is named Projector.
