Of course, the PHP book I have is really nice, phplib is a godsend too,
but I've tried it and I'm here now.

If you take the time to go beyond the "i will do it with external method
in python because that's all I know" stage, you will find at home sooner
or later depending on wether:

 - you already know python (I did)
 - you understand the difference between <dtml-var pippo> and <dtml-var "pippo">
 - you understand how to wisely use REQUEST and RESPONSE
 - you don't need complex new products or zclasses
 - you post any doubt here (nice place isn't it?)
 - you give a deep read at the ZSQL documentation
 - you can apply full-time (I couldn't)

given that, most of the howtos and tips are redundant :-)

Of course I'm a newbie, but I'm a confident newbie.
