Why not just develop some Webware apps?! It's really easy for someone already familiar with Python and HTML/HTTP. I'm sure, this is the best way to "get a feeling" for Webware. > But many things I have read about Webware always mention "Non of the > Headaches of Zope" or something similar. What is meant by this? I guess, it's the thinness of Webware. WW is "pro-Python", which means, that everything you do is more than less directly done in Python. No DHTML, no (or only little) web-based configuration. This - at least IMO - is one of the strong points in Webware: it doesn't put anything between the application developer and Python. > Can you guys offer some objective information for/against Zope/Webware in > general.

A lot of the docs look like MS-Word manuals describing which menus to open: "Go to Options->Preferences, click the radio box labeled 'spam'" and so on. I didn't like that. I like the Webware-way: "Write a class called 'SitePage' that inherits from 'Page'..." > I am not looking to start a debate or anything, just trying to get some > fresh points of view.
