However, there were a few iffy bits: some of the HTML in the examples was technically incorrect, and the DTML coding style was sometimes over-verbose and not properly explained.

we have had several discussions at beehive about making code examples easier to read. we are currently working on a specification which would be followed in all our tutorials.

My biggest problem using the tutorial was caused by my not realising that ZClass meta-types are case-sensitive. This was not stressed in the tutorial - take care!

wow! we had no idea --- we'll add this note to future versions of the tutorial. from what i remember hearing at the last python conference this is a common python problem also.

Overall I'd rate it 8/10, losing points chiefly for poor coding style and a few inadequate explanations. As a whole, it's been very useful (and saved the CTO a lot of time talking me through things).

thanks! the cool thing about our tutorials is that all our customers get free updates for one year --- giving us bees a chance to correct any errors as well as document any (in this case ZClass) new features/changes.

We'll be sending our detailed comments on the explanations, and HTML and DTML problems, back to Beehive.

we'll be looking forward to these comments. we're happy about any feedback we get! regards, mark -------------------------------------------------------------- mark pratt (managing director) mark@beehive.de beehive elektronische medien GmbH http://www.beehive.de phone: +49 30 847-82 0 fax: +49 30 847-82 299
