To start with you should be familiar with creating Products though the Zope Control Panel. This process is outlined in the Zope Content Manager's Guide .
Working with Z Classes builds on Zope's existing Product Creation facilities but extends it in important ways. The basic difference between creating traditional Products through the Control Panel and creating Z Class Products is that with classes your objects retain a connection to their classes. So when you make changes to your class, your instances are updated. With traditional Control Panel Products no such link between the Control Panel and the created object is retained, the Factory simply creates an object in the Zope object hierarchy.
