Scalable and heterogeneous web toolkit sitting on top of Django and others
Project description
About
Intro
Welcome to the notmm toolkit, a open and accessible web publishing platform on top of Django and WSGI.
Design philosophy
Scalable and non-monolithic By Design
Allow developers to write scalable Django apps easily. The notmm toolkit provides a modular API to develop reusable WSGI applications environment on top of the Django framework.
Pragmatic Web Application Development
Allow developers to test and develop server side WSGI applications in a restricted environment by writing unit tests.
Rapid Framework Refactoring
Based on the unittest module for continuous integration and rapid web framework refactoring.
Open Source
Fully open source licensed (Apache). The notmm toolkit works best under the Linux OS or a BSD variant.
