<h1>Bottle</h1>

<p><a href="http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/index.html">Bottle</a> is a WSGI-compliant

<a href="https://github.com/defnull/bottle/blob/master/bottle.py">single source file</a>

web framework with no external dependencies except for the standard library

included with Python.</p>

<h2>Bottle resources</h2>

<ul>

<li>

<p>The <a href="http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/tutorial.html">official Bottle tutorial</a>

provides a thorough view of basic concepts and features for the framework.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>Digital Ocean provides an extensive <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-the-bottle-micro-framework-to-develop-python-web-apps">introductory post on Bottle</a>.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>This tutorial provides a walkthrough for

<a href="http://www.giantflyingsaucer.com/blog/?p=3598">getting started with Bottle</a>.</p>

<h2>Bottle framework learning checklist</h2>

<p><i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i>

<a href="https://github.com/defnull/bottle/raw/master/bottle.py">Download Bottle</a> or

install via pip with <code>pip install bottle</code> on your local development machine.</p>

<p><i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i>

Work through the official

<a href="http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/tutorial.html">Bottle tutorial</a>.</p>

<p><i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i>

Start coding your Bottle app based on what you learned in the official

tutorial plus reading open source example applications found below. </p>

<p><i class="fa fa-check-square-o"></i>

Move on to the <a href="/deployment.html">deployment section</a> to get your initial

Bottle application on the web.</p>
