---------------
In a non-object-oriented application, your data is separate from
your code. But in an object oriented application, both your data
and your code is stored in one or more objects, each of which
represents a particular "thing". Objects can represent just about
anything. In Zope, the *Control_Panel* is an object, Folders
which you create are objects, even the Zope "root folder" is an
object. When you use the Zope "add list" to create a new item in
the Zope Management Interface, you are creating an object. People
who extend Zope by creating *Products* define their own types of
objects which are then entered in to the Zope "add list", allowing
you to create objects from them. A product author might define a
"Form" object or a "Weblog" object. Basically, anything which can
be described using a noun can be modelled as an object.
