From the introduction: "Recently I discovered Zope, and having understood its principles I decided to abandon my years of PHP experience in pursuit of a better way."
I, like him, had this experience too. How many people on the zope mailing list haven't had the same career experience?
I was just starting to go beyond static HTML and mess around with PHP (and a wee bit MySQL) when I heard about Zope and started looking into it (2.4.1 had just been released). It was, and still is, the conceptual design brilliance of Zope that I found most attractive. The nitty-gritty of actually developing with zope is no less a PITA and vertical learning 'curve' than anything else I've seen. Different, yes; easier, well, not for me anyhow. Though I haven't bothered with anything else since then, either... :-o So I stick with it because - conceptually - it's just way, way cooler than anything else. Meanwhile - in reality - I spend hours just trying to find out the right little bit of syntax or correct way to reference or method or hack or whatever to get one little tiny thing done. And so on, and so on... John S. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html
