Plone Core Developer Reference

This Reference Manual applies to: Plone 2.5.x, Plone 2.1.x, Plone 2.0.x
This Reference Manual is intended for: Advanced Developers

This reference manual describes the conventions, concepts and components of the core Plone codebase. It is intended as a point of reference for new developers who want to be able to contribute, and for old developers who are doing things they haven't done before. At the moment, it is a work in progress, sections will be expanded as we are able to find time. This manual is of course useful to anybody doing development with Plone, but will focus on documenting the areas important to development of Plone itself.
