"Python's syntax has, to developers, what OSX gives to users: Clarity, Simplicity, Elegance while allowing portability (Well, Unix app's are more easily portable to OSX) and extensibilitiy (OS X's Unix angle and Python's C, Java and other extensions and wrappers. It will be disappointing if OSX Web Developers also overlook the elegance and simplicity of Plone." - Dean Goodmanson: Slices of Py
Yes indeed, the Zope Community and Apple need to nourish this development. Mac OS X web developers have another great set of resources available to them in Python, Zope and Plone. Alone, each of these tools allow their developers to deliver creative cross-platform solutions. Yet in combination, the solutions will be awesome.
An essential key to Apple penetrating the Windows realm will be its ability to convince its developers and users to demonstrate the flexibilty of delivering solutions to all platforms and using solutions derived from other platforms. Hopefully, O'Reilly's Mac OS X Innovators Contest will shine the spotlight on solutions that enhance the OS X experience, while being easily retro-fitted to be experienced by users of other platforms. As we continue to move into the internet age, cross-platform solutions will become even more imperative.
