Hi. I am new to Python, Zope, and OOP. Can you please recommend a good book(s) on patterns, component architecture, and component-based design as referred to in the excerpt from the Zope X3.0 press release below? I am reading 'Design Patterns' by Gamma, et al, but it does not include interface patterns or perhaps other, newer patterns.
I do not know how much of an abstract learner/thinker you are, but when I learned OOP, a book did not help me at all; I learned it by doing. And in this case I would say the Zope 3 Developers Book is the right thing. It covers all component types in a practical instructional manner. If this is not enough for you, the Zope X3 source code has some really great README.txt files that point out subtleties and corner cases.
