Zope Component Architecture basics with five.grok

This manual describes the basics of the Zope Component Architecture using five.grok, which brings convention-over-configuration to Zope 2 and Plone.

It will be useful to developers who want to learn how to configure Zope components using grok-style configuration instead of ZCML.

Warning

Grok is not allowed for Plone core developement. Grok is not recommended for Plone addon development.
