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 -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
