Been trying to teach myself dancer over the last several days and have begun to grasp the basics of creating a very simple CRUD. However, I am beginning to realize that I need to know HTML. Would to best plance for some who does not know html be to simply copy index.tt, edit it to create templates? Or is there a better easier way? Thanks
Hi Richard Don't get too bogged down in HTML. I'm sure it will take you less than an hour to learn the essentials of HTML reading something like this http://www.w3schools.com/html/ On the other hand, CSS and Javascript are a considerable learning curve and writing it yourself from scratch is an ordeal because it involves a lot of testing to make sure it works in all browsers. If you're just trying to learn how Dancer works as a framework, go ahead with copying and modifying the templates that are there. If you're putting together a site for use in production, I'd recommend downloading a Bootstrap ( http://getbootstrap.com/ ) template from a site like http://startbootstrap.com/ or https://wrapbootstrap.com/ then copy and modify them to use as Template Toolkit (http://www.template-toolkit.org/) files. Does that answer your question? Andrew On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 1:32 AM, Richard Reina <gatorreina@gmail.com> wrote:

Andrew, Thanks for your reply. I will check out bootstrap as soon I learn a little more about creating a CRUD with dancer. Again, thank you for answering. 2015-08-04 1:49 GMT-05:00 Andrew Solomon <andrew@geekuni.com>:

HI Richard, I use this form builder. It uses bootstrap. http://bootsnipp.com/forms?version=3 Typically, I will cut-and-paste from the rendered tab the code that it generates. Jack Jack On Mon, Aug 3, 2015 at 5:32 PM, Richard Reina <gatorreina@gmail.com> wrote:
