I just want to say what a great product Zope is and offer congratulations to all who have helped out in it's development and to the people at Digital Creations for making it freely available. I needed to have a useable first version of a Web application completed in a very short amount of time and could not have achieved it without Zope. Despite never having written a line of HTML or Python code prior to starting the project, I was able to deliver a Web data-entry/capture application packaged as a Zope Product in less than a week (approx. 60 hrs - which is an average working week in this industry isn't' it :-). The app has 10 major classes, a couple of support classes/functions and 30 screens in addition to the standard Zope management screens. I think having an extensive OO/C++ background helped me to get up to speed, but the excellent framework provided by Zope coupled with the productivity of Python and DTML, made it possible. In fact an experienced Zope programmer could have done the job in 2/3 to 1/2 the time as I spent a lot of time wrestling with HTML/DTML code to get the layout right. Not only is the Zope/Python environment productive but it is also FUN ! All in all a great product, well done. Robert Leftwich Digital Innovations
