About the book
This book aims to teach best
practices of Plone development, focusing on Plone 3.0. It covers
setting up a suitable development environment, customizing Plone�s
look and feel, creating new content types and forms, connecting to
external databases, and managing users and groups intelligently. It
also shows how to configure a production-ready server, with LDAP
authentication and caching. Plone is an
open-source content management framework, built on the top of the
Zope application server and written in Python. As a ready-to-use
Content Management System with a focus on usability, Plone makes it
easy for content authors to create and edit web content. Plone is
also used by developers, as a framework for building content-centric
web applications such as dynamic websites and intranets. This book
focuses primarily on the developer-oriented aspect of Plone.
