[ZDP] ZCL Dicussion

_understanding_ Zope. 

ZBook chapters are for this essential -understanding-.

I don't see it why they should be really bundled... A tutorial is mostly an
example case (ie. how to solve a certain problem, how to make
something,...), they don't explain the real basics (every function, ...),
only what certain code-blocks do.

The real explanation needs to be done in real text-basis (with small
example codes, ie. reader can see how it looks)

Per information the person can have a look at a tutorial, which displays
the code-example in a bigger context... 

Thus why not just linking? If you link it, persons only interested in the
tutorial can have a look at it too, without waisting his time to read all
basic stuff he already knows.

It doesn't has to be a 1-1 relationship. It can be a 1-n relationship. 1
chapter-n tutorials.

What difference do both of you mean with a tutorial and a tutorial in ZBook
-Part II?
