Cameron Cooper's Plone Book Released
Learn from Plone expert Cameron Cooper how to develop all the skills you need to become an accomplished Plone developer.
(PRWEB) December 9, 2004 -- Built on the powerful and popular Zope
application server, Plone is regarded as one of the best and most powerful open
source content management systems. Many compare it favorably to high-end
commercial content management systems. "Plone is a seriously powerful system"
explains Cameron Cooper, "but it is so different from anything else that
sometimes people get totally lost." 'Building Websites with Plone' explains how
Plone works, shows how to use its many out-of-the-box features, and explains how
this highly flexible system can be extended and customized.
Cameron's
deep understanding and fluid writing style make even the most complex aspects of
administrating and developing Plone websites easy to understand. Beginners and
experienced Plone users alike will find this book invaluable
"I wanted to
write something that was not just a resource book or a manual" continues
Cameron, "but that would really teach people how to work--and think--in Plone. A
big part of that was writing to solve problems before people asked them, and I
had a pretty good idea about what people ask after helping out on the mailing
lists for years."
Building Websites with Plone covers a lot of ground not
previously documented in other books available on the subject, for
example:
-SQL integration
-CustomizationPolicies and
SetupWidgets
-content i18n, PloneLanguageTool
-using existing
tools
-modifying existing Zope objects to be Plone content
-XML-RPC, REST,
SOAP interaction
-RSS syndication
Like any feature-rich, complex
system, Plone can have a steep initial learning curve. This makes good
documentation essential for both the beginner and expert alike. For users new to
Plone, this book provides a structured pathway through set up and initial
customization. Experienced Plone developers will learn how to leverage the full
capability of this powerful application.
