This talk is an introduction for beginner developers on how to have an Odoo app publish front-end pages through python controllers.

Quickly introduces: controllers, routes, http vs jsonrpc, public vs user, QWeb templates, fitting inside Website, fitting inside Portal.

An example github repository available after the talk will illustrate the covered topics, but also uses a bit of Colibri Interactions in order to fetch JSON content.
