Turnkey::Generate and Turnkey::Render processes. (a) The process of creating a Turnkey-based website via Turnkey::Generate is shown. A SQL schema file is processed using SQL::Translator to create a directed graph representation of the relationships between tables. These are used by Turnkey::Generate to create an MVC-based web application. (b) The rendering of a Turnkey page by Turnkey::Render is shown. When a client request is received an XML document describing the relationships between objects is consulted. Model objects are created and combined with templates by the atom controller layer to produce a rendered page. This is returned to the client.
