[Python Wpg] ZOPE courses in town?

[Sydney Weidman]

I agree with Jason's good advice re: purpose. Content management
applications can be created with Zope, but Zope does have a New York
sized API. Postgres and Mysql database integration is not included "out
of the box" so to speak, but can be added in reasonably easily. Using
products like DCWorkflow and such, you can design quite sophisticated
content management applications.

There is some zope training listed on the main page of zope.org (none in
Canada, much less Winnipeg, unfortunately). One thing I would recommend
having a look at is the "Zope 3 hello world screencast":

Zope 3 is considerably simpler and more pythonic than older iterations
of the framework, so it may be beneficial that you haven't learned the
"bad old way" of doing things in Zope. There are a number of other good
tutorials on Zope 3 that can be found at:

Enjoy!
