I think it should be broken up into three parts: Basic Content in Zope,
Expanding Zope with ZClasses, Expanding Zope with Products.

The first would focus on using DTML, SQL Methods, and other existing
Zope products. A user would only that section and make a nice web page.

The second would focus on making your own Z Classes that are search
catalog aware, data-bound, etc.

The final chapter would assume python skills and show you how to make
a full-blown Zope product.

I would also dig a set of slick, practical examples at the end of each
part, showing in a real-world way how to put what that part documents
to good use.
