<businessmanexplaination> Technically, ZOPE is very different to the middleware options. (technically _better_ if you ask me). The really cool thing about PHP and ASP is that there's load of script kids out there to fetch for your commercial project if more resources are necessary. To take the Zope route is a big and long step. Whereas PHP or ASP are many small steps. On the one hand, the big and long step is probably longer and bigger than many small ones, but it requires long legs. </businessmanexplaination> <experiencedwiththemallme>

From static HTML -> ASP = Wow! From ASP -> PHP/Coldfusion = Chock! From PHP/Coldfusion -> Zope = Heart attack! </experiencedwiththemallme>

I would like to compare (if it is possible to compare them) these server side applications.

Many thanks in advance,
