Zope Corporation will hold the next session of Zope 3 for Developers training June 27-29 in Fredericksburg, VA. This three day course will familiarize developers with Zope 3 software from introductory through advanced concepts. The take-away materials provide tools for further learning, since it will not be possible to cover every topic in the sessions. We will demonstrate the flexibility and effectiveness of Zope as an Open Source web development Platform. Course Objectives To understand: * Zope's component architecture, * Creating Zope components and applications, * Building web interfaces, * Controlling security, * Using powerful Zope framework features e.g., events, metadata, schemas, testing, * Configuring and installing Zope The course is intended for developers who want to build web applications using the Zope 3 web-application server. Students should be familiar with the Python programming language and the concepts associated with web application development. While not required, students will benefit from having some familiarity with Zope 2-based application development. We offer several opportunities to meet with Zope's engineering teams, including with Jim Fulton, our CTO.
