Hi I have just added this Product How-To: http://www.zope.org/Members/maxm/HowTo/minimal_01/index_html I would very much like some feedback as to whether this type of How-To is worth the effort. I wrote it because I would have liked something like this myself when I started. So should I write more like this, or is it a waste of time? Introduction text: 'Zope product programming has gotten a reputation as being difficult. This is not true. I belive that It's simply because the examples that has been shown, like the Boring class, has been too full featured. Furthermore the samples have skipped several steps when explaining the functionality, making "the Zope" way seem long and a bothersome. With all kinds of unnessecary extra code that is added "just because". I remember reading the Boring examples the first time thinking that there was all this deep black magic about Zope that no one really understood, but just did because the had seen it elsewhere. Therefore I have choosen to write a series of How-To's explaining in the simplest possible way how to program Zope. The pace will be VERY slow and every line of code will be explained in detail. If there is ANYTHING that is unclear please tell me about it. (Use the " Feedback to this page's author" link in the bottom of this page.)' Max M. W. Rasmussen, Denmark.

this kind of handholding is really great for us newbies. hoping to see the continuation, e.g. nested products --Folderish_product |-Product_item thanks for the enlightening doc. -- http://www.kedai.com.my/kk http://www.kedai.com.my/eZine use Zope? then you got HOPE!
I think thats great. I like the move from Python to Zope. Nitpick: classes dont actually need a docstring. I'm thinking of doing one for folderish objects since I have used these quite a bit and think they are great. -- Andy McKay, Developer.
