Hi,
The Zope 'Elvis' Tutorial(1) uses DTML(2). DTML is now deprecated. So I don't
want to build my first Zope site using the Elvis DTML Tutorial as a model. I
need more.
Please help me if you know where is a good place to read up on CMF(3)/ZPT(4)
usage?
So far I have read:
* ZPT for Beginners -- a Tutorial from ZopeMag.com
(I read it on zopemap.com but can't find it there now; Google cashed it here):
http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:BO_uHBzp4woJ:www.zopemag.com/Issue003/
Section_Articles/article_ZPTintro.html+Zopemag+TAL+METAL+TALES&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
* Virtual Host Monster

(1) Depricated? --> The Elvis Tutorial is prominently placed in the Zope 2.6.2
binary installation but teaches only DTML:

topic_01
(2) Document Template Markup Language (DTML) is a (legacy?) Zope Template
Language.
(3) Content Management Framework (CMF) refers to the use of TAL, TALES and
METAL in Zope Page Templates (ZPT).
TAL -- Template Attribute Language
TALES -- TAL Expression Syntax
METAL -- Macro Expantion with TAL
Hot or cold?
Any other relevant Tutorials or HOWTOs to read? Tips to help me and others who
might read this thread?
Thanks!
Roger :-)
-- to turn my static TEFLChina.org community site into a dynamic interactive
site. Zope looks promising. But DTML is depricated, right?
