DTML needs to be given the same amount of attention as it always has. For some bizarre reason, DTML makes sense in my head....even complicated logic... "Doctor! Do I need help?" It's one of the reasons I really liked Zope three years ago when starting with it.... The tag structure just made sense and was similar to a tool I used to get database calls and logic on a web page...

erm... would "advanced DTML" not be the short sentence: "avoid DTML where you can"? ;)
That'd be ok, except that DTML can of course do things that ZPT can't, yada yada yada.
Btw. did you think of putting the whole DTML stuff at the end for reference only to help migrating old products and turn the whole thing a bit around so beginners get a clear path of Zope development? I found it a bit confusing when I edited the german translation of the 2.3 book a year ago.
That's probably a good idea. But I think the rewritten chapters explain when to use ZPT and when to use DTML. And DTML still needs to be given some attention for the reason I say above...
