Developing for Plone Core follows similar patterns, but it requires you to sign the Plone Contributor license. The process is documented here.
Writing proper code and documentation that others can expand upon is vital. As Plone community, we stick to the following style guides, and ask that all developers and documentation writers do the same.
Importing content from other systems often requires the help of tools to get content out from various sources and into Plone. A number of these tools exist.
Tutorials¶
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 is in active use by various trainers in the Plone world, and is being developed as a ‘collaborative syllabus’.
And while attending one of the trainings with real trainers is the best thing to do, you can learn a great deal from following the documentation for these trainings.
This training was created to teach about Mockup, the new Frontend library for Plone 5 .
