Building a simple blog with CubicWeb#
CubicWeb is a semantic web application framework which favors reuse and object-oriented designs.
This tutorial is designed to help you make your very first steps with CubicWeb. It will guide you through basic concepts such as:
getting an application running by using existing components
discovering the default user interface
extending and customizing the look and feel of that application
More advanced concepts are covered in Building a photo gallery with CubicWeb.
Some vocabulary#
CubicWeb comes with a few words of vocabulary that you should know to understand what weâre talking about. To follow this tutorial, you should at least know that:
a cube is a component that usually includes a model defining some data types and a set of views to display them. A cube can be built by assembling other cubes;
an instance is a specific installation of one or more cubes and includes configuration files, a web server and a database.
Reading The Core Concepts of CubicWeb for more vocabulary will be required at some point.
Now, letâs start the hot stuff!
