Back around 2001 I was looking to re-do my website, and searched around for recommendations. The name ‘Zope’ kept popping up, and since it was in my price range (free!), I downloaded it and started playing around. It came with several simple things for making different pages, and seemed to work OK, but if you wanted to do anything more than basic static HTML, you had to write “scripts” in this language called “Python”. I had never used Python, but after skimming some examples I tried writing a Python script. It worked on the first try. Beginners luck, right? So I tried something a little more complex, and that worked, too! After a few of these I figured that either I had just gotten really smart, or Python fit my brain really well. It’s now almost two decades since, and while my website isn’t in Zope anymore, it’s still in Python. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
