I am really keen to learn ZPT. I am having trouble unlearning DTML. Can someone point me to some good doco for some who is DTML damaged?

Hi
New to this stuff, can someone tell me the difference between XML and DTML (is that the same as DHTML)
TIA
S.
These are all very different and not really comparable in a simple (ie brief) way. I suggest you go to http://www.w3.org to read up on what XML and DHTML are, and go to http://www.zope.org to find out about DTML.
There is also a good (better in my opinion) alternative to DTML for Zope now, called ZPT. This is XML-based and generally more structured and clean. If you're just starting out with Zope I strongly recommend you use as it will (hopefully) prevent you from falling into any of the many possible problems you can get into design-wise with DTML. It's much harder to write bad code (IMO) with ZPT.
