Object Oriented Development and ZClasses in Zope
Hi all, Does anyone know of a good tutorial on object oriented development in Zope using ZClasses, or know if it might be documented well in one of the existing or upcoming books. I was thinking specifically of how a class diagram might be mapped to the Zope environment, and how certain areas such as saving of persistent objects to a database and reading these back into objects might take place - basically the way things should be happening or a choice of ways to do certain things with recommendations. The end result is to create an entire system and be able to model it and it's sub-systems as products for reuse. I assume a product translates equally to what a package does in Java speak. Anyway, I'd appreciate a bit of enlightenment in this very powerful area of Zope. Perhaps might be a forum for discussion as to how people are currently building their systems in Zope using an object oriented methodology - saving of persistent objects - ZODB or RDBMS? I await some interesting responses! David Legg
Hi David, I'm actually working on it. But unfortunately it is only meant to be in german yet. This does not only cover product developement in ZClasses but also in alternative ways, like in python products. I can keep you up to date if you send me a private message on the subject.

I don't know if you've seen this How-To, but I found it helpful as well as entertaining: http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/gainenlightenment -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.org W.

David, I can answer the ZClass tutorial part! the rest is for the Gods! I found the BeeHive Zclasses tutorial to be quite helpful from a beginner's perspective. It doesn't treat the fine points of Object Orientation vis-a-vis the Java model etc. But it is a good, to the point, tutorial (worth the 30DM) and they take you step by step thru the process of building a ZClass. The Zope Book (ZB) covers the conceptual basics of ZClasses quite well! HTH, Amr __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
