12/29/2005Rocky VI: One man against 1,000,000 ZPT templatesRocky Burt is really asking
for it:
Its my personal opinion that anytime a page template requires logic
complicated enough to warrant using a 'python:' expression, that logic
should be re-thought and placed into a view class. I know that some python:
expressions are fairly simple, but for an HTML designer, *any* python:
portions are dangerous to touch (and ...

12/26/2005How the monkey was born
In a comment to Ian
Bicking's post on RoR, Shane
Hathaway explains the history of the monkey patch:
I think the "monkey patch" term originated as follows. First it was
"guerilla patch", referring to code that sneakily changes other code at
runtime without any rules. In Zope 2, sometimes these patches engage in
battle with each other. This term went around Zope ...

12/23/2005I won't work on Zope 4 eitherGert Thiel urges
to improve
Zope's marketing and hits the same nail I've been hitting as well. Some of
his suggestions would deserve some consideration, though I will reject his
last one: "make Zope 4 even better". Jim Fulton has stated several times
that he won't be working on a Zope 4. And you know what, I won't be working
on a Zope 4 either.
I know, Gerd probably ...
Oh, the painFound a link to The Daily WTF in a
blog post by fraca7. Haven't had a good laugh like that in a while. My
stomach almost started hurting.
The sad thing is that code like this actually lives somewhere in production
sites waiting to be unleashed upon innocent users. Apart from the fact that
some people just have a hard time recognizing their
incompetence, as one reader ...

12/22/2005Zope is reaching outMartijn Faassen wants
the Zope community to reach out to other frameworks and technologies. He's
right, Zope has been on its little island for way too long and received
constant bashings because of that, mostly from the Python community
itself.
Actually, Zope 3 isn't doing such a bad job at reusing existing technology
if you look at it:
Zope's ...

12/14/2005Ruby on rails, Zope on a ropeRuby on
Rails 1.0 is out. Congratulations to the development team and the whole
RoR community! They've come a long way in creating an innovative, agile
framework. Next to J2EE, RoR can be seen as one of the main competitors of
Zope in the field of web application frameworks. What impresses me even more
than the software itself is the RoR community. As one of the first projects
...

ZCML needs to do lessThe separation of component wiring from the actual component code is a
strong theme in Zope 3. To do the wiring, it was decided very early on not
to use Python but something more restrictive. Extensible, but restrictive in
terms of its abilities. The result was a configuration engine that allows
component configuration and registration ("the wiring") through simple
configuration ...
12/08/2005Choosing an insanely small computerI'm pondering back and forth whether to buy a subnotebook or similar device.
I'm quite happy with my 2004 PowerBook 15" (hey, it survived
an encounter with a car's wheel just fine), but it's too big to take it
everywhere. I currently find myself in the situation of doing regular work
in an office (which is not my home for a change), doing Zope consultancy
stuff the rest of the time ...

12/06/2005Kudos to TheuniKudos to Christian Theune for fixing 10 or so bugs in Zope 3 last Friday!
Without that work the Zope 3.2 beta release (which is already tagged and
should be announced today or so) would have been delayed even longer.
Now it looks like Zope 2 and 3 might roughly stick to the
time-based release schedule after all. This is important because we need
to make it absolutely clear ...
