How to generate a web application in 10 minutes

As mentioned in previous posts a code generation tool is very efficient to generate repetitive code from a “model” and to boost the project’s starting.

Here’s a short video demonstrating how to use Telosys code generator ( http://www.telosys.org/ ) in its “Command Line” version in association with Atom text editor to generate a web application written in Python.

In this demo, the application is generated from scratch using a “DSL model” to define the project’s entities.

It covers the following phases:

1 – Project initialization

2 – Model creation (to define the project entities)

3 – Templates selection and download

4 – Code generation

5 – Launching the generated application

Demo’s technical environment:

• Language: Python
• Frameworks: Bottle and SQLAlchemy
• Database: SQLite
• Code generator: Telosys
• Text editor: Atom (with the Telosys extension)
