Hi Allen,
I think I need to learn at lot more about Zope. Most of what we're
doing here involves a marriage between database tables and Python
dictionaries turned into objects. We made a small extension to the
Sybase module to retrieve data from SQL queries, mold them into
dictionarys, and attach as attributes to created objects. It was
technology that was effective even 5 years ago.
I don't have much to offer for teaching yet. But I'll try to keep
track this summer. Syllabus, what works, what dont. I assume you've
seen Jeff Elkners book at www.ibiblio.org/obp and projects his high
school class is doing.
