[Zope] ANNOUNCE. Zope Beans v 0.1

[Bak @ kedai]

very cool.  first impression :- it does make making zope products easier.  i
will give it a shot and hope that i can churnout zope products like you
experienced mages :)

this is similar to mkzprod... almost, except that mkzprod is zclass like.

thanks

Subject: [Zope] ANNOUNCE. Zope Beans v 0.1


>
>Experimental version:
>http://www.pault.com/zope_beans.html
>
>Genbean.py v 0.1
>Tested with Zope 2.3.0
>
>The big picture is described in the paper "Zope: How To Win Big".
>http://www.pault.com/zope.html
>
>What is Zope Bean?
>
>Zope Bean is a simplified plug & play product for Zope.
>Zope Bean encapsulates a set of properties and methods.
>Zope Bean has one creation screen, one configuration
>screen and one information screen.
>
>Zope Bean is not Zope Component.
>
>Zope Component is experimental new feature in Zope.
>I have not seen it implemented yet. However, from the paper:
>"Components need not be persistent, nor provide a management
>interface." Zope Beans are persistent and they provide a
>management interface.
>
>Zope Bean is not exactly Zope Product.
>
>Zope Products are hard to create and hard to maintain.
>If you're Python/Zope pro who is used to write complex
>Zope Products, the chances are that you may have
>no need in Zope Beans - you're already a magician.
>However, Zope Beans enforce loose coupling design
>(something to think about).
>
>The biggest difference between Zope Bean and Zope Product
>is that Zope Bean is extremely easy to create and to maintain
>even you have no experience with Zope Products at all. If you
>know a bit of Python - you can write and use Zope Beans.
>
>Next version of Zope Beans may provide more functionality
>(like complex types of properties, one-bean-cooperating-with-other-bean,
>Global Bean Distribution Network, e t.c.) The purpose of this
>version is to show that writing plug & play Zope Products
>could be significantly easier than it is now.
>
>Comments welcome.
>
>Rgds.Paul.
