The Grok book that I wrote for Packt Publishing has just been made available for sale at their site:

http://www.packtpub.com/grok-1-0-web-development/book

The book is the result of a year’s work and is intended for developers more or less familiar with the concepts of web applications who want to write their applications using the Python programming language. No familiarity with Zope is assumed from the start.

The approach is practical, focusing on getting working code right from the beginning. I realize not everybody likes the strategy of following the development of a complete application chapter by chapter, but I tried hard to make it work well.

Philipp von Weitershausen, Author of Web component Development with Zope 3, kindly wrote the foreword for the book. He made a blog post out of it, which can be read at his site.

There’s also a free sample chapter online at Packt’s site, which discusses testing and debugging with Grok.

Update:The chapter on forms is also available online.
