Not a bad book - but could've been much better
This is the first book that I've read on Zope. It gave me a good idea about what Zope was capable of (and it sounds very impressive by the way) but didn't give me enough detail. I felt that there could've been more coverage of building Zclasses and the popular 3rd party products. Perhaps a more complex case study was missing. I really wanted to know how to build a relatively complex site using custom objects, object containers, etc. Or maybe I just missed the point?
