ZCML, CSS hooks, portlets, viewlets, GenericSetup, customization tricks, and I18N. I sat in the front row, and my DVR, using the ECM-DS30P, made good recordings of the instructor's voice. But boy, the ECM-DS30P does quickly drain the battery. A fresh AAA battery lasts about five hours when I use the best recording quality.

Plone 2008 Theming bootcamp, day 1
Today was ZPT, TTW philosophy, portal_view_customizations vs. portal_skins, viewlets, and simple customizations. Joel Burton is an excellent instructor. The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center sucks. Many D.C. buildings are huge, but the Reagan building outsizes almost all of them. It's so large that I found it uncomfortable and disorienting. And sterile, bland, and cold … Continue reading Plone 2008 Theming bootcamp, day 1

Django -> Plone: Things that make me go, Hmmmm.
[This continues from my previous post about my Django-to-Plone odyssey. My first post in the series explains why I'm learning Plone, and the caveats that apply.] For your enlightenment or amusement, here are some things I'm bumping into this week. Skins vs. browser directories From the Plone Theme Reference and other sources, I've learned about the … Continue reading Django -> Plone: Things that make me go, Hmmmm.
The Zope Book
I've finished reading The Zope Book (2.6 edition).

Minor grumbles: The Zope Book's latest editions are 2.6 (released) and 2.7 (in progress, this will be the … Continue reading The Zope Book
