I think it should be broken up into three parts: Basic Content in Zope, Expanding Zope with ZClasses, Expanding Zope with Products. The first would focus on using DTML, SQL Methods, and other existing Zope products. A user would only that section and make a nice web page. The second would focus on making your own Z Classes that are search catalog aware, data-bound, etc. The final chapter would assume python skills and show you how to make a full-blown Zope product. I would also dig a set of slick, practical examples at the end of each part, showing in a real-world way how to put what that part documents to good use. Tom Deprez wrote:
Hi,
I'm going to (try!) to write a small book on Zope. I hear people complaining a lot about the documentation with Zope. I'm all ears to hear what persons expect from such a book. Right now, I'm generating the table of contents, thus it's a good time to include what people expect. After that I'll post this to the publisher. If the publisher agrees, then it's only waiting until the book is finished.
You can send examples of what you need, ideas etc to my address tom.deprez@village.uunet.be and I'll try to incorporate them.
Regards, Tom.
ps. This is also good information for the ZDP.
