You are comparing cows with dogs. PHP and ASP are very languages
but Zope2 and 3 are frameworks.  If you have basic knowledge
in HTML/XML and Python you should be able to work with Zope . For Zope 3
you just have to know about Python and ZPT and have a clue about
XML for the configuration. There is really no need to learn DTML. If you=20
want
to use a technology then one should be willing to learn how to use it. =
Using
a technology without having some knowledge usually ends in a disaster.
