I looked at Amazon and found several commercial Zope books available. Does any one have any experience with any of them? Orchids or onions? In particular do any fill holes that the Zope Book 2.6 leaves? Best Regards Ian Nunn

One that I can heartily recommend leaving at the store is ``The Book of Zope'' as it only discusses dmtl without a word about page templates. The best commercial book I've found so far is Andy McKay's ``The Definitive Guide to Plone''. I found this very well written with good examples.

The Zope Bible is quite good, and gives a good introduction to python products and ZPT. Alec Mitchell

I can only confirm that. Although there's a lot about DTML - which is somehow obsolete - in this book, it makes you get some "feeling" about what to do with Zope and how to use it. For me this is the most important part: There are many documents that describe the syntax and functionality but there are only few examples which show how to apply Zope to specific problems. I also have ANdy McKays "Definitive Guide to Plone" and can also recommend this. Yes, it's about Plone but it also covers Zope topics, once again with this book you will get a better feeling about Zope.

Cross referencing the Zope Book, the Book of Zope, and the Zope Bible worked for me. At the time, I used a CHM product called Zope Shelf, It was helpful as well. -Jon Hermann Himmelbauer wrote:
