Web Component Development with Zope 3

by Philipp Weitershausen

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.

This is a good introduction to Zope 3. I've been reading it off and on since I started working on Launchpad, which uses Zope. The book was good for helping me get the terms and conventions of Zope development, but Launchpad has a very particular use of Zope 3. Some of the more general web dev uses of Zope 3 covered in the book don't apply, for that reason.

But still, this is a good overview of web development using Zope 3. I would recommend the book if you're trying to get up to speed with Zope.

Zope3 is a complicated-arsed mamajama. The End.
