I've got a proof of concept set of templates without Formulator or any

Re: [Zope] anyone heard of Zamasing?

2008-04-17 Thread Tim Nash
@Garito,
  I hope you have another  release of ZSM. I really appreciate new
developer tools for zope like your ZSM and Zamasing. I am pretty
confident that the zope 3 crowd will eventually put back TTW,  simple
ZMI etc. (but hopefully not too much acquisitionthe great idea
that almost ruins zope 2).

Google is very close to making the business layer scalable, they have
been studying salesforce.com for some time now. When they conquer that
technical hurdle, huge ASP's will probably dominate computing
(especially in China). Easily distributed and maintained web services
like zope 2 may be one of the few remaining ways to compete with
monster ASP's. The zope 3 crowd will come back around with an even
better zope.

 @Phil,
   I think you will find the product learning curve isn't that steep
at all. The famous z-shaped curve has more to do with the lack of
up-to-date documentation than anything else. Products are the way to
go. It is very much like wriitng 'Scripts Python'. I am going to put a
simple 'boring' product on the zope.org site (if they let me) which
will show how to use zope and extjs for anyone who is interested.
Looking forward to your proof of concept

-Tim

Thats pretty awesome. It's zamazing to me that Zope 2 is not a de facto
platform for Web 2.0 projects. I think it has some major benefits over
Rails and maybe even Django but there seems to be no interest in it from
that community. This is a great start.

A reason to upgrade our 2.7.5!!!  I have been on this list for over 7 
years and have never heard of this company. I wonder how many other cool 
Zope2 things are being done quietly in the shadows. Bring your cool 
stuff into the light for others to enjoy...and pay for if needed. I for 
one have no problem buying useful tools or products for Zope.


Thanks for the tip Chris.

I agree that it's a great platform for Web 2.0 projects - I'm a happy 
RDBMS developer, using Zope as an application server against Postgres dbs.


I find that Formulator, ZPTs and simple scripts on the server side and 
JQuery on the client side (specifically, the JQuery Taconite 
implementation [1] with XML ZPTs) work wonderfully together.


My interest is pretty narrow, in the sense that I'm all about RDBMSs, 
tabular data, and form-driven data entry - the less guff between me the 
and the RDBMS, the happier I am. However, if I don't have much to say, 
it's only because TTW Zope development using these tools is so easy. If 
there is any interest in discussing this stuff, I am up for that.


Having said all that, I'm happy enough with the ZMI as it is, so 
Zamasing is only of academic interest to me.


FWIW, all these techniques can also be made to work seamlessly inside 
Plone without doing any actual Plone development, which can be handy 
(you really only need to work with Plone's CSS to make it look 
consistent) - a server side mash-up which avoids all the cross-site 
scripting stuff, if you like.

Is like I want for Zope Smart Manager (the version I have in my computer has

Phil,
  It is great to see more posts about how well zope works for Web
2.0 projects. I have used extjs with zope and really like the
combination. I'd like to learn more about your jquery /plone setup and
how you make it work. Would it be a time consuming for you to create a
generic product that demonstrates your setup? It would be helpful to
have a common set of artifacts to discuss.
Thanks,
Tim
ps. I can make available a generic product that demonstrates how I use
extjs if there is interest. It is pretty simple...serve a little dtml
doc which requests the gui cached in javascript. Gui makes ajax calls
back to zope for the dynamic elements.

pps. nice work zamazing! python/dtml syntax highlighting in codepress?
sweet. (but I am addicted to the mac version of Komodo)

Re: [Zope] anyone heard of Zamasing?

2008-04-16 Thread Garito
Hi, Tim!
I'm agree with you. I my case I use bluefish at gnome but I like TTW GUIs
because I don't need to carry my computer to work around the world and, boy,
the world is a very beautifull place to visit

I understand that Zopers want a revision of the back-end with Zope3 but at
this moment I don't understand so much the effort that suppose (it's only an
opinion without wishing to open a discussion about that decision, I respect
this decision)

My way, by other side, is about a way to work properly or better with Zope2
because Zope2 is the better place at this moment and my skills to build my
project
And, in my opinion, zamazing is the an equivalent effort and thats good for
the Zopers that think like my

The version of ZSM, for example, that I have in my computer has edition but
is not tested yet and then I would like to add a debugger (at least at the
Yanged part)

Do you imagine that you could work at every computer connected to the
internet? I think that the people who use Zope is, in part, because is TTW,
isn't it?

Congratulations again
