[Zope] ASE & ZOPE and general question

I just found ZOPE yesterday (that's how new I am to the concept of ZOPE). I am trying to find some info on how is it possible to connect ASE with zope? Also, what would be the best start to find out about simple staff like submitting data via forms to ASE using ZOPE generated pages? Also passing variables from page to page? I am coming from ISAPI world where it is easy to accomplish this in ISAPI dlls but I can't find my way around ZOPE?? Thanks
