Overview of this book

<p>Building your own Python web applications provides you with the opportunity to have great functionality, with no restrictions. However, creating web applications with Python is not straightforward. Coupled with learning a new skill of developing web applications, you would normally have to learn how to work with a framework as well.</p> <p><em>Python 3 Web Development Beginner's Guide</em> shows you how to independently build your own web application that is easy to use, performs smoothly, and is themed to your taste – all without having to learn another web framework.</p> <p>Web development can take time and is often fiddly to get right. This book will show you how to design and implement a complex program from start to finish. Each chapter looks at a different type of web application, meaning that you will learn about a wide variety of features and how to add them to your custom web application. You will also learn to implement jQuery into your web application to give it extra functionality. By using the right combination of a wide range of tools, you can have a fully functional, complex web application up and running in no time.</p>

Chapter 3, Tasklist I: Persistence


Session IDs

Answer 1:

No, CherryPy will only save the session data to persistent storage if something is written to the session data while preparing a response. If an unknown session ID is received, the application cannot identify the user and will signal that to the client, but it will not store anything in the session data.

Answer 2:

c, because a client that doesn't store cookies will never send a request containing the session ID, the server will generate a new one.

Styling screen elements

Answer 1:

Either leave out the text:false in the options object passed to the button() function or explicitly show it with text:true.

Answer 2:

The <div> element that encloses the <form> element might be wider and an unsuitable background color may show up where the form isn't covering the full width.
