I recently looked into Zope in some detail and have decided that it's rather cool, with many features that you don't get from J2EE or ASP or PHP, etc. The Through-The-Web (TTW) aspect of it is interesting, and the documentation seems to infer that this is the direction Zope programming is going, with the use of ZClasses and other features. Unfortunately, I'm a little turned off by the fact that you must edit many things using a web browser. For example, ZClasses were cool and easy to configure through the web, until I discovered that I can't recover the source to it as a source file that I can edit with something else. FSDump only does translation one-way to the filesystem and not back again. DTML can be FTP'ed to the server, but what a hassle this is. So how do people go about programming Zope? What sorts of tools do people use, and how do you go about getting your code to and from Zope? Can you use CVS? Thanks for any help with a newcomer. Gerald.
