Mastering Plone 5 Development#
This is the documentation for the "Mastering Plone 5" training.
Mastering Plone is intended as a week-long training for people who are new to Plone or want to learn about the current best practices of Plone development. It can be split in two trainings:
A beginner training (2 to 3 days) that covers chapters 1-18.
An advanced training (3 to 5 days) that covers the rest.
At conferences a shortened 2-day version of the advanced training with a slightly modified order is held.
