[Zope3-Users] Missing the point

[Darryl Cousins]

Hi Luiz,

Too much coding without beer is no fun. Too much beer and coding gets
messy. I've been guilty of both. :-)

There is a recent thread that I think applies to your questions, one
mail of which is:
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-users/2006-October/004664.html

which includes a link to:

Yes, Zope3 does require a lot of configuration/zcml work. But as an
example I have recently been building a site where the work was in just
building and configuring views (and a few adapters) on content objects
that were already developed for another project. It has been fun - even
without beer.

Hope this helps.
Darryl
