This Short Cut is meant to be a complete and high-level overview of the three most prominent "next-generation" frameworks. I provide code samples throughout as concrete examples, not as application how-tos. Each of these frameworks comes with excellent tutorial-level documentation that walks novices through the process of creating a simple application, if that is what you need. I expect that readers are familiar with basic Python syntax, database design, and general web development practices. I hope that if there are any unfamiliar concepts, the ample links I provide will suffice.
