Dear Zopistas,
I plan to write another book about Zope: "Building Dynamic WebSites
with Zope".
The book idea:
Realize a demanding dynamic WebSite with Zope.
Describe everything that is necessary for this purpose.
This will contain:
Concepts: HTTP, HTML, Zope, Databases, JavaScript, ...
Components: catalogs, sessions, topics, news, discussions,
stores, mails, LoginManager, customizers, workflows, ...
Programming: building your own components (ZClasses and
Product API)
There will be some overlap with the official Zope book.
However, my book has a different focus:
I will not be complete about Zope. I will just
describe the 40 per cent of features that are used
for 85 per cent of the applications.
I will cover aspects of dynamic Web publishing not
directly related to Zope such as e.g. the basics of
HTTP requests and HTML form processing.
I will mainly stay near the concrete example dynamic
WebSite.
What do you think about my plan?
Do you feel, it is worth persuing or redantant in view of the
official Zope book?
Dieter
