Zope, python, and Smart Web Sites

Making a read-only web site is easy enough with Apache and traditional web servers, but setting them up to allow write access is a black art. Zope supports flexible access control and writeable web pages out of the box. And that's just the beginning of Zopes's support for collaborative applications.

Learn how to get Zope running in half an hour, share editing tasks with your buddies the next half hour, install add-ons for digital photo albums, event tracking, or threaded discussion the next.

Then get under the hood of Zope, learn about the architecture based on python's asyncore module. Compare Zope with other python web server toolkits like Skunkweb and with other database integration tools like PHP.
