[Zope] New to Zope

[Jake (aka BZ)]

Love newbies since I still feel like one after 3+ years of Zopedom. :)

You got a book, that is a great start. The next is to really start playing
around with Zope. Set it up, get in there and see how things are done.
Download and install products and see how they do things. Examples are the
best way to learn (IMHO).

Sites:
http://www.zopezen.org
http://www.zopelabs.com
http://www.plope.com (a bit of weblog for Chris M.)
(I would put the one I am building in the list, but it is below).

There are a bunch of good articles on DTML and ZPT over at
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Zope

That should keep you reading. You can either pick DTML or go with the
newer ZPT (I am still in DTML land).

This list is not very "chatty" just down to business.

Enjoy.
Jake
