Look at the "How To Build a Searchable Job Board" tutorial. It is a how to located on Zope.org and will give you a lot of the basics such as basic dtml, working with Catalogs, ZClasses, searching ZCatalog, Working with reports, etc. It does work.

I am a bit jargon challenged when it come to Zope and Python. Could you please clarify ZPT? I have not come across this term yet, or if I have it is only in the long form. What I really need right now, more than a debate on what works best, is, as I asked in my first email, some pointers to the FM (Fine Manual) so I can R(ead) it. ;)
What would be the series and order of how-tos (that work) I should read to get myself up to speed without having to spend a year trying to plod through all this on my own? Because, so far, the reading I have done on my own, and the examples contained there-in, do not work. Some even have basic coding errors like missing (') in the example snippets. *boggle*
And how do I kill the services tab and registry leftovers from an uninstall in windows XP? XP refuses to let the keys be deleted as they correspond to the Windows service. This should have been removed during the uninstall.

Well, zclasses vs. zpt & python script is comparing apples and oranges... like saying "don't use a car, use some wheels and engines." ;-)
As for zclasses being "not the way", there's some disagreement about this. I don't use 'em myself (lately I've been building on EasyProduct when I want to a new class quickly); others have reported problems transitioning a zclass between zope versions; but Dieter Maurer, who knows as much of zope as anybody, says he's been doing it for years without problems.
