I'm an ASP/VB/Site Server developer looking for an alternative. Zope is very appealing -- it looks like a great tool supported by a great community. And I've enjoyed looking at and playing with Python. But, I'm uncomfortable with loosing touch with an actual HTML/ASP document in an actual file system. I feel weird about the URL that Zope presents - there's no simple file name reference, like, http://www.abc.com/mypage.asp or http://www.abc.com/mypage2.html. Sorry, but my web experience expects that. 1. Where can I learn how others have handled the transition from page-based publishing to Zope's object-based paradigm? 2. How do you create/maintain the look of the site? Doesn't seem feasible using the Zope control panel. I prefer using HomeSite (Allaire) for coding HTML, ASP and any text file. MacroMedia DreamWeaver for complex HTML design/layout. And I like using MS SQL Server (although I could be converted..) to support data-driven web sites. How do I integrate these products with Zope (if at all). The HTML page editing/layout features of Zope are not clear to me. Thanks for aiding in my evaluation.
