Have you noticed that web development's kind of hard?

If you've been doing it for a long time, this is actually easy to forget.

It probably sounds simple enough to pick a server-side framework, Pyrameter Django.

Create a new project.

Oh, do I use P-create? Is that cookie cutter? Is that managed? P-Y?

Install some client-side dependencies with NPM.

Install some server-side dependencies with PIP,

create a database, well, first choose the database server, then create a database,

maybe even set up and install the server, the process, and maybe even another machine to do

this, connect the app to the database securely, pick a front-end framework, is that bootstrap or

foundation, integrate the front-end framework into it,

pick a theme. Now finally, you get to write some code. Oh, now it's time to deploy. Wait, that

doesn't sound that easy. Actually, even to me. What if the web were as easy as old-school VV6?

You just open a UI, you drag and drop some widgets, you double click on the things like buttons for events,

but with Python code, of course. With Anvil, you'll see that it really is that quick and easy to get

started. Meet Meredith Loof, who's here to tell us about Anvil. This is Talk Python to Me,
