Re: [Zope] Beginner DTML
Hiya
better forget all about DTML and go for http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/ZPT
I have started learning ZPT, and although I don't want to discourage anyone from using it, i would say that for a complete beginner it would be better to start off with DTML. I say this as there is little documentation on ZPT at present, and the documentation that there is, i.e. the examples that show you how to do things are all DTML conversions, so you will be a bit stuck if you don't know DTML in the first place. As for where to find DTML documentation, there are tons of tutorials at zope.org. cheers Tim _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
Hi Tim, I disagree :-) Sure, the examples are somewhat DTML centric, but after all DTML is evil. So my recommendation makes sence ;) DTML first 'looks' more easy, but it is a hell of pitfalls if you want to do serious work with it. From that point, ZPT is better documented even in this very early stage. I would be happy to translate an free-mind example of doing some stuff into PythonScript/ZPT. So jbubba, where do you want to start? Have a little idea what do you want to archive? Did you become a bit familar with python? (This is a must if you want any serious programming in Zope) Regards Tino --On Montag, 16. Juli 2001 15:19 +0000 Tim Fouracre <jhgfjhgfjhgfjhgfjhgf@hotmail.com> wrote:

Tino, I am actually looking to create a web application that my dad can use to store pesticide records (he's a certified pesticide applicator), and they have to meet a stringent set of recordkeeping requirements. The list of requirements is at http://www.agr.state.tx.us/pesticide/rkbrochure.htm. It's simple to keep on paper, but paper can get lost a lot easier than a backed-up database. I haven't started looking at the Python, DTML, or ZPT tutorials yet. Thanks for the help! J.W.
