Chapter 1: Introducing Plone
About This Book
About This Book
This book uses the following conventions:
-
Italics: New terms are italicized. (Appendix C contains an extensive glossary that defines all acronyms.) Also, links that appear in the user interface are italicized.
-
Bold: If there are instructions within the text that include something you should type on your keyboard, these words are in bold.
-
Code font: A monospaced font indicates filenames, folder paths, code, variables, and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs).
This book contains lots of screen shots of Zope, Python, and Plone. Since Plone is a rapidly developing product, the screen shots might vary slightly from the version of software you're using; these changes should be minor and shouldn't affect your understanding of the system.
Software Used
For this book, the following versions of software are used; although this book is specifically written with these versions in mind, all the software should work on these and later versions for some time to come.
Plone 2.0 was the most recently released version of Plone at the time of writing. This is the second major release of the software, and it provides many new features over 1.0, including group user management, a new interface, and an improved Zope distribution. It's strongly suggested you start any new projects in 2.0 or later, rather than using the earlier versions of Plone.
Version 2.0 of Plone has the following dependencies: Zope 2.7, CMF 1.4.2, and Python 2.3.3. All of the code examples in this book have been specifically designed not to be dependent upon these versions or a particular operating system. However, there may be situations where this isn't the case; I apologize for any inconvenience.
Book License
Originally, a group of Plone users keen to produce quality documentation came up with the idea of this book. We released the first version of that book on the Plone Web site as an open-source documentation project. All the content added to the Plone Web site was under the open publication license.
Growing interest in Plone made a commercial book more feasible, and in the summer of 2003, Apress and I started this book. I used some of the material from the old book with the original owners' permissions. With the change to Plone 2, I added a large amount of new material.
