Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book can be considered the definitive guide to Zope 3. If the reader is looking for a book containing a set of tutorials on creating and using Web applications, this is a great choice."

Pectu Dana, Timisoara, Romania; ACM Computing Reviews, September 2006

"This book is at once thorough, brief, and concise. This is by far the best technical books i've read on any subject.

I have been interested in Zope for almost a year now, but even as a seasoned programmer I was intimidated by its labrythian complexity. I struggled for weeks reading the free Zope material and learning almost nothing. This book presents the material in an accessable manner while shying away from the horrible puns and awful jokes present in so many technical books. This book would be a bargin at twice its price."

Product Description

Zope is a powerful Python web application platform for developing complex web applications rapidly and collaboratively. 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.

Now in its second edition, the book has been overhauled completely. It has been adapted to the changes and new features in Zope 3 since its first release. The new edition also makes it easier to get started with Zope, incorporating input and suggestions from Zope 3 experts and newcomers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have!, March 31, 2008

By	Eric Rozeboom (Lemmer, Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The best book for any Zope 3 developer. Whether you are a newbie, intermediate or advanced Zope developer, you can't go wrong with this book. It explains the Zope environment step-by-step and is written in a very clear way. Most chapters feature nice comparisons between Zope 3, Zope 2, CMF and J2EE. The book is also a great reference for Plone developers, who want to know more about the underlying Zope platform (although Plone 3 mainly uses Zope 2.x technology), or use Zope 3 features backported into the Plone/Zope 2 environment.
