Five tutorial for Plone Developers now online

I'm happy to announce that a prose version of the Five for PloneDevelopers tutorial is now available through the Appetizers section ofworldcookery.com. The text is based on a 90 minute tutorial I gave atthis year's Plone Conference in Vienna and introduces Five and theZope 3 concepts in five easy steps.

Although Plone-focused, "this tutorial":http://worldcookery.com/files/ploneconf05-five can also serve as a good starter document for other Zope 2 developers who want to dive into Five and Zope 3. The actual code used in the examples is not very Plone-specific. In fact, throughout the five steps the example code is actually abstracted more and more according to Zope 3 paradigms, so that the result is a Zope 2 product designed to work with other systems than Plone. I would like to thank all the attendees of my talk at the Plone Conference, especially Martin Aspeli. Their positive feedback and Martin's nagging made me consider padding out the slides to a full tutorial.
