Zope web application development and content management

The Zope Book has been an online development project for Digital Creations over the past year. It is the only documentation to Zope that exists. Due to the community involvement with the development of this book and the strong need for documentation, there is much buzz and anticipation for the printed version of this book. The Zope creators at Digital Creations wanted a leading publisher to publish their work, so they came to New Riders. With the combination of a well-respected publisher and the Zope technology leaders, this book will receive an incredible response from the community. The Zope Book is a book for web developers and website administrators on how to use Zope. Its divided into three main parts. Part I, Introducing Zope, gets the reader up and running with Zope. It teaches what Zope can do, whom Zope is for, and how Zope is different from other web application servers. Part II, Creating Web Applications with Zope, takes what was learned in Part I to the next step. Readers learn how to integrate the Zope fundamentals to create robust applications. Part III, Developing Advanced Web Applications with Zope, instructs on how to work with the advanced features of Zope. This includes the well-known Zclasses and how instances are built from these classes.
