[Zope] Newbie Tutorial?

[brian@coolnamehere.com]

Hi Dan,

One of the neat things about Zope is that it comes with an excellent 
tutorial built in.  Install Zope, and it will start you off with a 
"QuickStart" screen that will give a quick overview of Zope 
concepts.  There is also a "ZopeTutorial"  object you can construct 
and step through.  The ZopeTutorial is quite good, and helped me 
understand a lot of techniques that I'd never bothered learning 
before.

Also, The Zope Book is available online as a link from the 
Documentation section of the zope.org site.  You can use the online 
version of the book while getting your feet wet, and then buy it as a 
"away-from-computer" reference.

Have fun with Zope!  It seemed overwhelming and complex to me 
at first, but now I'm using it to add stuff to my site which would have 
been too awkward with CGI or some of the other Web application 
platforms.

Good luck,
Brian Wisti
