[Plone-UI] What is the Bare-ist of Templates

[Veda Williams]

I forgot one other thing: I¹m currently writing a new book on theming that
will be coming out in the spring of 2009. My hope is that the book will be
relevant for quite some time and will bridge the gap between Deliverance and
the crazy Zope 2+3 world of theming. You can still get quite a bit out of
the Practical Plone book which will be out sooner, but if you¹re interested,
stay tuned.
