[Zope] Learning Zope Page Templates

[Alex Newby]

Hi,

I've googled around a bit, but fallen a little short in finding some good
information on learning ZPT. I'm new to Zope, and to programming, but
know XHTML like the back of my hand and am becoming more experienced with
CSS everyday. I come from MoveableType and quickly learned the syntax of
it's templating language, to the point of frustration:), so ZPT doesn't
seem off the mark; nevertheless, short of Appendix C in the Zope Book
I've come across little to help me make the transition. I was wondering
if anyone had any suggestions that aren't showing up in Google.

For the obvious...

I found this to be rather nice:

The discussion of the "metal" here to be informative:
http://www.zopemag.com/Issue003/Section_Articles/article_ZPTintro.html

This is good too: http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zqr/ZopeQR

And the prospect of using dtml to dynamically render my css is
blowing my mind.

I'm wondering if I can be directed to some of those resources off the
beaten path.

Appreciatively,
