Creating Plone Content Types with Dexterity - Steve McMahon - May 20, 21
Creating new content types in Plone is easier than ever. Dexterity, Plone's new content-type development framework, allows you to create content types through-the-web, in add-on products, or even to move back and forth between the two. Dexterity will be built into Plone 4.3, but is ready to use now. The course will focus on practical use of Dexterity, with just enough theory and history to help students understand how Dexterity fits into Plone.. Read More...
Registration coming soon.
Getting Off the Ground with Plone - Cris Ewing - May 20, 21
So you've heard about Plone, this smart, secure and powerful content management system and you'd like to get started. Where to begin? This training course is for you. You'll learn the best way to install Plone, how to create your first website and get started adding content, how to get quick, simple victories for your new project, and how to turn those quick victories into re-usable products you can deploy in minutes. The first day of teaching will focus on working in a web browser, and the second day will move to creating installable packages on the file system.
Managing Agile Plone Projects - Sally Kleinfeldt - May 21
All the pieces have fallen into place for that big website project. You've chosen Plone, you've lined up the budget, you've gathered a team of developers, you've selected a design firm. You've worked with all the stakeholders and come up with a long list of features. Plone and its add-ons will provide many of them, but some will need custom development. How are you going to manage the project?
