Creating a Page Template was the last headline.
Simple Expressions is the next one? How about:
Understanding TAL Statements then
The Structure of TAL Statements then
Expressions then
Path Expressions

My 2c:
I have to put in and say that this is not really very useful as an introductory text. It's more like the
O'Reilly 'in a nutshell' series. It is easy for someone with programming, and particularly templating
experience, but not for a beginner, which is what it should be aimed at, since it is the core documentation
for Zope. That said, this manual is still in its formative stages; I'm just agreeing with the need for more
thorough explanation and partitioning of concepts into sections... Ahh, if only there was time...

I agree that there is a need for beginner-level documentation, feel free to contribute and write something.
It is F/OSS after all. There's nothing stopping you from fleshing out your outline. Go for it! You could even
paste a link and maybe somebody will merge it into the text.
That being said, here's a couple of links to a 4-part ZPT tutorial by Harish Kamath:
