From a business perspective, there are three key ideas to understanding
what Zope can do for you: powerful collaboration, simple content
management, and web components. The following sections are mostly
oriented towards business people making decisions about Zope, so if you
are interested in jumping right in, skip to the next chapter, *Using
Zope*.

Again with the hype. Knock it off! Readers can decide for themselves whether something is "powerful" or
"simple". Who trained the author? Microsoft?

Do you mean really that the author himself is not free to give his opinion on the product, or does everyone
have to ask for your permission when speaking about his own work??...as far as I'm concerned there's freedom
of expression on civilised countries...where do tou live?

I'm not not a native english speaker, so I'm sorry if I make some mistakes. But I agreed with the first
comment. I'm tired of applications that permanently boast about being the greatest. It's not necessary to
inflationate the documentation with such adjetives. Do you know sombody that would say that his product is
not the best and the gratest?

I've read a range of books that range from program/platform evangelism to extremely objective to the point of
giving a very honest comparison of the program/platform to its main competitors (I do tend to be impressed
with the latter more :). At the same time this is a introductory book and not a specifically so you want to
not cram the information into the lowest volume - some lighter descriptive sentences help the book be less
daunting.
