Summary

"This book introduces and develops the concepts of Zope 3 and its Component Architecture thoroughly. All explanations are accompanied by a common demo application that demonstrates how Zope's feature set can be applied to custom components. The application is extended subsequently in each chapter and undergoes a typical development process throughout the book." "The book is targeted towards developers familiar with the web and its technologies. These include HTTP, (X)HTML and XML, and the language Zope itself is written in, Python. Special sections for Zope 2 developers cover the basic differences compared to the previous version." "Summaries at the end of each section allow a quick review of the essentials. Two appendices provide a reference for Zope's most common APIs and configuration directives."--BOOK JACKET.
