This sounds like a good idea, IMHO. The Zope Book doesn't go into much detail about technologies outside Zope. It sounds like your book would, and this would be a good thing.

Dear Zopistas,
I plan to write another book about Zope: "Building Dynamic WebSites with Zope".
The book idea:
Realize a demanding dynamic WebSite with Zope. Describe everything that is necessary for this purpose.
This will contain: Concepts: HTTP, HTML, Zope, Databases, JavaScript, ... Components: catalogs, sessions, topics, news, discussions, stores, mails, LoginManager, customizers, workflows, ... Programming: building your own components (ZClasses and Product API)
There will be some overlap with the official Zope book. However, my book has a different focus:
I will not be complete about Zope. I will just describe the 40 per cent of features that are used for 85 per cent of the applications.
I will cover aspects of dynamic Web publishing not directly related to Zope such as e.g. the basics of HTTP requests and HTML form processing.
I will mainly stay near the concrete example dynamic WebSite.
What do you think about my plan? Do you feel, it is worth persuing or redantant in view of the official Zope book?
Dieter
