From aclark at aclark.net Wed Jun 16 16:01:10 2010 From: aclark at aclark.net (Alex Clark) Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:01:10 -0400 Subject: [Python-authors] ANN: New Plone book with strong Python (and Zope) themes throughout Message-ID: Hi all, Just wanted to spread the word about a book I have written. It's called Plone 3.3 Site Administration, and is available from PACKT publishing (hopefully) in June 2010: http://aclark.net/admin It's aimed at beginners, both of Plone and Python. I.e. folks that perhaps have used Plone through the web (e.g. system administrators, website content editors, etc.) In the first chapter, I go to great lengths to try to explain the relationship between various installations of Python on various operating systems, and the applications that run on top. Much effort is made to explain and promote Distribute, in the hopes that folks will jump on the band wagon in time for Distribute2 to appear (later this year?) The rest of the book aims to de-mystify Buildout (zc.buildout) for the hundreds, if not thousands of Plone-users that continue to be baffled by it. There is a "single buildout" that runs throughout all the chapters, where the examples accomplish various "site administration" tasks. I hope you will try to help spread the word! And consider purchasing a copy, if the subject matter is of interest to you. Alex --- Alex Clark ? http://aclark.net Author ?

It sounds like it should have some good information, even for those of us who don't use Plone. I'm looking forward to reading the parts about Buildout. Doug
