Thanks Niels. Just to clarify:Does my particular instance fall under an OODBMS model or a RDBMS model (with ORM if necessary)? I will begin by reading the Zope Book. Thanks for your assistance. Appreciate it. -ss

My questions:Will the app be better served with a relational DB like mySQL or an Object database? After a lot of research I've guessed that my particular case might be better served with Python and Zope/ZODB. But I might be wrong? Maybe PHP+mySQL or Django is a better fit?Can anyone provide general advice on how to go about beginning such a project in ZOPE. This hardly depends from your data structure, but with Zope you have the option to use ZODB and SQL DBs like MySQL in parallel. Typical relational data should go into a SQLDB while complex / oo Data structures should go into ZODB.
We developed several complex to very complex web based applications - incl. expert systems - on Zope ZODB plus MySQL. I can't believe that someone would be able to solve such issues with PHP/SQL within the same time / ressources.
Which is the best place to start learning for a
newbie? You should start by trying the short zope practice / excercise as described in the Zope book.
The Zope Book should be the best source for getting into Zope step by step from "nothing". ß)
Can anyone recommend a good shared hosting provider that
supports Zope fully but is not expensive? Looking for "zope hosting" or similiar in google should advice you. Our company - as one of many - offers Zope hosting to.
Is there a module or app that
is open source that I can use to output a graphical flowchart based on the results, or will I be better served programming it from scratch with Python? There are different modules as i.e. Python Imaging (PIL) and higher level modules.
I would appreciate any help in getting started. Thank you
in advance. I have tried most online forums but have not good any productive answers. Most of the answers I got were pro-PHP+mySQL.
Yes, because the peoples did not know anything other solution usually...
cheers,
Niels.
