Not really difficult. More a nightmare to maintain. At first it's not too bad, but then it hurts you when you realise all this "Through The Web" development stuff needs to be re-done in the file system and managed through version control. Bookmark this post and if you decide to pursue Plone/Zope further, don't say I didn't warn you :P. I forget the quote but it goes something like "Plone/Zope makes difficult things simple but simple things difficult." > I didn't know about TurboGears and Django but I'm > looking them up right now.

If you want to get into Zope, get into Zope3. Zope3 is re-written from scratch and aims to fix the problems and build on what was learnt from Zope2. There's a good online book out there that I took a look at. I forget what it's called.... OK, it's The Zope 3 Developers Book - An Introduction for Python Programmers (http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/FrontPage/Zope3Book) Let me know how you go. Later, Julian
