Start with the Zope Book http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB It should be a good intro. It sounds like you've setup zope already, so skip a few chapters. Welcome.

I have heard that Zope offers a great way to create a web-based application and is python friendly. I have programmed for about 20 years now, was able to learn the mechanics of C++ (though I have yet to have anyone convince me it was worth the effort), have been using Python for a couple of years, and have run through the Zope tutorial. I feel I'm ready, but -- like the dazed freshman on the first day of classes -- don't know the 'next step'. Should I shell out the $$ for the new "Programming Python" book? Do I go out and look at Zope Websites and look at the source code? Any help and/or pointers would be appreciated.
