About this TutorialThis tutorial is intended to give first-time users an introduction to using Torque, an object-relational tool. Torque was developed as part of the Turbine web application framework. Until recently, it was tightly coupled in that framework, and could not be used independently. This tutorial is an introduction to the decoupled version of Torque. This will include how to obtain the Torque distribution, setting up a database, and writing a sample application to demonstrate the power of Torque. The tutorial is not meant to be an exhaustive introduction to Torque, please refer to the documentation on the Torque homepage for more detailed information. The example used throughout this tutorial is based on an email sent to the turbine-user mailing list by Steven F. Davis called torque outside turbine - detailed example (long) . |
