Greetings Zoperators:

I am happy to announce that we've finally finished updating the old
'Principia' guides to reflect the current state of Zopish affairs. Three
cheers for Jim Fulton for his efforts on this!

http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides

The result is three new guides which teach you how to use Zope. 

  * Z SQL Methods User's Guide
  * Z Document Template Markup Language User's Guide
  * Zope Manager's Guide

The Z SQL Methods User's Guide explains how to access SQL data with
Zope. 

The DTML User's Guide explains how to access and control web objects
from within Documents using DTML tags. It includes a fairly exhaustive
discussion of such topics as batch insertion, the tree tag, request
variables, etc. 

The Zope Manager's Guide introduces Zope and gives a gentle introduction
to creating and manipulating web objects.

The guides are available in four popular flavors:

  * Online HTML
  * Online PDF
  * gzipped tarred Postscript
  * gzipped tarred HTML

These new guides have something for everyone, including many things
never before revealed!

It's all there, from an explanation of what that Product directory in
the Control Panel is good for, to detailing the initialization arguments
for a DocumentTemplate HTML objects, to a friendly introduction to using
basic Zope components.

Enjoy!

-Amos
