Hi,

the zope developer guide (ZDG) is your friend, this chapter perhasp in 
particular.

http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZDG/current/Products.stx

the ZDG goes on about interfaces in it's first chapters. Yo donot need 
to use Interfaces if you do not want to, but they are very handy. Note 
that the ZDG is for 2.4, but it should work fairly OK.

The ZGD is a good companion to the Zope Book when developing products.

Hope this helps.
