Plone fone

Someone might say that this blog is more about CMS in general than Plone specifically. I will still prefer being in the context of Plone. I have started liking Plone too much. Simply it has taken away lots of pain from my day to day website development.

Do you want to build a simple website which has only static data content? Tring tring, “May Plone help you?” Pick up Plone and create your pages be done with it in a few minutes time. Do you want to give a different look n feel than Plone’s default? Tring tring, “May Plone help you?” Write your own css and import it in your own page templates.

It is as simple as what I have described. Literally you don’t have to sweat yourself out to build your web applications.

Once the website is ready, you can host it using Plone directly or host your website behind an internet server like apache etc. Integrating Plone based web based application with apache is a straight forward two minute procedure too.

Do you have to develop more sophisticated web application than a website? Tring tring, “May Plone help you?” Don’t Stop calling Plone because it helps. So keep calling. Plone is based on object oriented technologies Python and backend database server ZODB. Both of these technologies are best object oriented technologies. And Plone seems to be making really good use of object oriented concepts. Why am I talking all this? We wanted to something more sophisticated, right? Do it now. Plone has many pre-built components which can be reused in your web application.

Stick to object oriented concepts you will benefit a lot. Inherit the objects (don’t take objects literally, read more about Plone you will know what I mean.) already developed in Plone and it will make life easier for you. You will hardly be required to write objects on your own since the community is contributing to Plone base so much that there are most of the required objects available already. Your job is restricted to just integrating the pieces together to give it your web applications name.

Enough talking now, go back and seriously try it once. You will like it too. I will try to cover at least one of the things mentioned above with an example (implementation how to) in one of blogs to follow.
