Hello everyone,
I've been going through the "How to: Build a Searchable Job Board", and being the newbie that I am, I've been having trouble.
First, it's a great recipe. I can make many a cake with it. The same kind of cake, the same kind of yellow cake. The same kind of yellow cake with white frosting...
Second, (and this is where the subject line comes from) it occurs to me that the "objects" are really just web-pages. "Methods" are pieces of web-pages, though methods also seem to be a way to do something with the stuff you put into forms. "Properties" are forms. A "property sheet" is a collection of forms...
Third, in light of the fact that the HOWTO says it is for those new to programming, I have proceeded to make changes to this HOWTO mainly to make it easier for me to deal with the various concepts and process, and to make it more generalized, so that it isn't simply a recipe, but something you can look at without the content and get a better idea of the concept behind it (a lot like Zope!).

Thoughts?
Go for it - sounds like a great idea. Zope is multi-faceted, and different perspectives are needed to get the 'ZopeZen' hitting more and more people. Some of the terminology (in the context in which it is used) is not widely known to most web-developers (methods, properties, objects etc) so anything that helps to turn the light on is a good thing IMHO.
