Plone 3 Developer Training

About the Course

Jazkarta's class at WHOI was one of the best technical classes we've had. Nate really tailored the class to our specific needs. He was able to work effectively with employees who had very varied levels of technical expertise, and whose specific interest in Plone was also different. From designers to sysadmins to data managers and editors, this class gave us all the jump start we needed to get to work on a Plone site.

This course is intended for students with some Plone knowledge in administrating Plone or developing with Plone who now want to go the next level and employ best practice development techniques in Plone.This is a hands-on class and we will be working with the latest Plone 3.0 release.

Registration

Nate devoted a considerable amount of time to understanding our training needs and preparing a custom agenda. The class was highly interactive and informative, and I'm confident that our team is better positioned for success with Plone.
