Book: Plone for Content Managers

By Brice Dunwoodie | Published Nov 16, 2006

Content Management with Plone: Handbook for Authors and Editors became available last week at Amazon.com. It had been available previously at Amazon.de and from its German publisher, gocept.

The book's presence on Amazon.com allows Plone users in the US and Canada to get it more easily, quickly, and inexpensively.

While other Plone books target developers and system administrators, Content Management with Plone puts content creators and editors first, providing what they need to get started with one of the world’s most popular open-source web content management systems.

The book also is a support tool for trainers. The tutorial section can serve as workshop material, while the reference section can complete trainers’ own knowledge of Plone’s functions.

Content Management with Plone has been updated to cover Plone 2.1 and is useful even with customized installations.

Book contents include:

A comprehensive tutorial
The basics of Plone
Explanation of standard content types
Understanding members, roles and groups
Working with content
Using the publication workflow
Using the visual editor

Authors Thomas Lotze and Christian Theune develop Zope and Plone applications for gocept, a software engineering firm in Halle, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Theune also is a core developer of Zope and chair of the board of the German Language Zope User Group.

Content Management with Plone: Handbook for Authors and Editors is the English translation of their German book, Content Management mit Plone: Handbuch für Autoren und Redakteure. It is published in the United States by Enfold Systems, a firm led by Plone co-founder Alan Runyan and specializing in products and services that make Plone easier to adopt.

You may purchase the book directly from Amazon.com.
