Transition to Zope3

• How does Zope3 draw on the lessons provided by the CMF?

  • Component model extends the separation of content, presentation, and application logic, providing separate mechanisms for finding each type (services, factories, adapters, utilities, and view components).
  • Interfaces are central to assembling components (“they aren't just for breakfast anymore”).
  • Configuration is separated out from content and software: “local” customizations are achieved by altering configuration, rather than code.
  • “Skin” concept (layered presentation components) governs the whole app (no more hard-wired ZMI).
