Review

"Vorweg: Dieses Buch ist vom inhaltlichen Aufwand her das Beste, was mir in letzter Zeit in die Finger geraten ist. Philipp von Weitershausen vermittelt das Wissen praxisnah, vergisst dabei nie die Theorie und strukturiert die Informationen in kleine, leicht verdauliche Happen. (...) Fazit: Eines der besten IT-Fachbücher und ein Muss, wenn man Zope 3 lernen möchte und nicht aus einem Vakuum, sondern von Zope 2 oder ähnlichem oo-basierten Hintergrund kommt." Jens Klein, Innsbruck, auf amazon.de

From the Back Cover

Zope is a powerful Python web application platform for developing complex web applications rapidly and collaboratively. Zope 2, especially in combination with the Content Management Framework (CMF), has been the basis of several successful open source content management systems such as Plone. With version 3, Zope has been rebuilt on top of a Component Architecture that combines the best ideas available from modern web platforms. This book focuses on Zope 3, though it also addresses the needs of Zope 2 developers who want to use Zope 3 features as they are backported into the Zope 2 platform. First, the key concepts of Zope and its Component Architecture are introduced. Each of Zope's capabilities is demonstrated by building a sample application and then extending it with more features. The book is targeted towards all developers familiar with web technologies such as HTTP, (X)HTML and XML, and Zope's implementation language itself: Python.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must have for any serious Zope/Plone developer, September 24, 2010

This review is from: Web Component Development with Zope 3 (Paperback)

Even now with Zope 3 riding into the sunset and newer efforts like Grok and Bluebream taking hold this book mostly remains relevant. Plone, an already well established system for content management, uses many of the ideas explained in this book in its core. The book covers the foundation of the ZCA (Zope Component Architecture) which are essentially a system of patterns developers use. In short, any developer writing an app using a framework in the Zope ecosystem should consider this book.

I worked at it for a few years but it never clicked. I unloaded this book on Amazon Marketplace as a used book. Switched to Django. Now I can actually develop web apps.
