 Introduction
 ============
 
+BlueBream is web framework written in Python programming language.
+BlueBream is a thin layer on top of Zope Tool Kit (ZTK).  Normally,
+BlueBream applications are developed using a Python based build
+system called Buildout.  BlueBream is built on top of a component
+architecture to separate presentation code from the problem domain
+code and to create reusable components (zope.component).  BlueBream
+has an object publisher (zope.publisher), web server (zope.server),
+transactional object database (ZODB), XML-configuration language for
+registering components (zope.configuration), flexible security
+architecture with pluggable security policies (zope.security), unit
+and functional testing frameworks (zope.testing, zope.testbrowser),
+XHTML-compliant templating language (zope.pagetemplate), schema
+engine and automatic form generation machinery (zope.schema,
+z3c.form) and many more core and third-party packages.
+
+Previously BlueBream was known as "Zope 3".  The development of this
+project started in 2002.  BlueBream is a ZPL (BSD like, GPL
+compatible license) licensed free/open source software.  It was
+developed by the Zope community with the leadership of Jim Fulton.  A
+brief history is given in the next section.
+
+The main aim of this book is to create a free online book about
+BlueBream.  This book will cover how to develop web applications
+using BlueBream components. You suggestions and edits are always
+welcome.
