Learn to write web applications using Grok, the fun and elegant web framework built atop the powerful Zope 3 architecture. Talks and discussion will alternate with simple ten-minute exercises that have students extend small example web applications to see each concept in action. Students will be introduced to the Zope Component Architecture; how Grok handles URLs and generates web pages; how objects are searched and indexed in the Zope Database; how pages are laid out using Views and Viewlets; how Grok handles logins and security; and, finally, how Grok fits into a standard WSGI stack for deployment with other applications.
