[ZODB-Dev] ZODB Intro

[Harm Kirchhoff]

I looked for them, but could not find them. I also googled for them but 
could not find them. I looked over most of the articles, at www.zope.org 
  but found them much too unspecific for beginners.

Maybe you could point out the articles you meant in more detail ?

The point I am making is that hands-on examples for absolute ZODB 
beginners are rare and do not exist in a consistent collection that will 
give an instant 'Ah-it's really easy.' experience.
