[Zope] RE: meeting agenda?

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

The "CD catalog/discography" examples in some of the earlier ZClass/ZCatalog
howtos are not too bad; that might be a place to start - the _OLD_ Zope
Developer's Guide (which only had one chapter - on ZClasses) plus the
ZCatalog Tutorial (both written by Amos Lattieir) are a good combo for this
sort of example, and could easily be turned into a presentation.  I can't
seem to find the old Developer's guide other than a printed copy that I have
from a while back, but the ZCatalog tutorial, which refers to the CD class
created in the old dev guide, is a good example of a relatively trivial
ZClass that can be searched...

The URL I do know:
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/How-To/ZCatalogTutorial

Charlie,

See that's my biggest stumbling block. You really need to have a good object
design and then create a ZClass if you're going to work with the ZODB. I'd
love to see something simple, like a recipe card file created from scratch
using ZClasses. Any "mature" Zope user willing to give it a try? I'm going
to bring in my stand-alone Linux desktop unit so I can show off the word doc
conversion product, so we'll have a server available.

nope. been swamped. i'd still like to see someone go thru the
process of building a trivial app using zope. i.e., i've got a
movie database that catalogs my vhs, laserdiscs and dvd movies.

the first version was built using minivend (a perl based
ecommerce app) and i have converted it to zope via mysql using
zsql and dtml. i've played with tal by converting some of the
dtml pages to page templates for comparison and that was neat.

then i built a zclass to see what it would be like to try to
implement the app in zodb only, and doing so raises a lot of
questions that hark back to initial design. like how do you
design properly for OO from the ground up...  

<sigh>
