[Sheflug] Zope?

[José Luis Gómez Dans <nospam [at] sheffield.ac.uk>]

Hi,
	I am doing a course on web design, and have so far used an
Apache server, ftp and what have you, as the course mainly covered basic
HTML, a bit of javascript and so on and so forth. Now, a more advanced
course is being proposed, and this one should include more advanced
sites than your usual homepage kind-of scenario: snazzy, jaw-dropping
dynamic content and the sort of useless stuff you see around. 

	One of the main points of this exercise is open standards,
compatibility, and doing things in a shoestring :-) So I was considering
teaching some PHP3, but then thought that PHP3 is really straightforward
if you can program already, and this will not be the case. Then I
stumbled into a Zope tutorial in some Spanish magazine, and I was
shocked. I have been playing with it for a couple of hours yesterday
(before going to see Cathedral--- Roooooockkk!!!!), and I was quite
impressed.

	Anyone has any thoughts on this? I only scratched the surface of
it, but I think it offers quite a lot of potential and is quite easy to
use (point and click). 

	For more info, http://www.zope.org (and yes, I am aware of the
	security fixes released hourly for it :D)

		Regards,
	José
