How about the 2 chapters in the Zope book?
I just don't find this book very helpful at all. It's written as a manual rather than tutorial and reminds me of a book which explains how to chop down a tree if you are interested in putting up some bookshelves.
What I did find useful, though, was this worked example of how to put together a simple application:-

That was much more useful than anything else I've come across so. Just wish there were a few more examples.
Interesting. If you like examples, be sure to get familiar with Zopelabs.com (zope cookbook)
It probably is very useful, but I know I'd get hopelessly lost because there is just so much stuff on it. Most of the newbie stuff about macros is probably quite old by now so I doubt whether I'd find it with a sequential browse through the Cookbook. It's disappointing to find that the link from Newbies under the ZOPE section does not function. What I really need is something like a ZPT macro which defines a header and footer and leaves a slot in the middle for my own content. I don't expect to be able to write my own macro for quite a while - too many pitfalls... I'm not even sure is that is how I should be approaching writing a home page.
