Cooper C. Building Websites with Plone

Packt Publishing – 2004, 415 pages.
ISBN 1904811027.Plone is an open-source content management system. It is used by many organizations large and small, and is growing fast, both in power and popularity. Plone is free to download, install, and use, and is very customizable, configurable, and scalable to large architectures. It can be installed and used as-is in a few minutes, or heavily customized to meet specific requirements. Many changes can be done with nothing more than a web browser, though Plone rewards those who chose to develop in Python on the file system.
This book provides a comprehensive guide to the installation, configuration, customization, use, and management of Plone. The underlying technologies of Python and Zope are treated but not explored in depth; a good working knowledge of both will help a great deal in understanding and customizing Plone.
Plone is Open Source, which means that the program code is freely available for others to examine and modify. Plone is developed, documented, and supported by a team of volunteers who give their time freely.
