3.3 What You've Learned

In this brief tutorial we've introduced these key facts about Aspen:

Aspen websites use the filesystem for site hierarchy.
Aspen websites are configured and extended via a "magic directory."
Aspen configuration happens through plain-text configuration files.
Aspen extensions are WSGI callables.

Besides handlers, Aspen can be extended by wiring up arbitrary WSGI apps to certain paths, and maintaining a global WSGI middleware stack. If this all fits your style of development, then check out the reference documentation that follows for the full story.
