Oh Wise Monks!

I have been blessed with the opportunity to hand off a project full of Template Toolkit template construction to a certified, business-carded and self-identifying Designer.

He is one of those Designers who is not also a Programmer. And so I find myself in search of tutorials, confessionals, documentationals and/or Books covering the grand realm of TT2 from a Designer's point of view.

So far all I've found either assumes you belong or aspire to the Perl tribe, or presents such simple examples as to be LTI - Less Than Inspiring.

In case it matters, my Designer's prior experience is mostly with something called "JSP," which I take to be some obscure flavor of ice-cream.

I expect good things from this guy, but I don't expect him to start hacking Perl anytime soon.

So, gentle Monks, onto which paths of meditation shall I send this Novice?

...many thanks...
