Plone Training: Plone User Basics and Content Management Fundamentals
This 2 part, 4 day training will take the most basic user through the key aspects of using an average Plone site. During the second 2 days we will build on this basic foundation to explore how to leverage Plone as a powerful Content Management system by understanding how it works, what addon products are available, how to leverage the Plone community, and how to get effective help from Plone developers.
Quick Details
This is a two part training with the first part covering the basics of interacting and working with Plone through the web as an end user. The second part builds on this and provids details on the full functionality of Plone from a non developer/sys admin perspective.
It is possible to just attend the first two days, the second two days, or all 4 days of this training.
Many more details will be provided in the next two weeks. Please email us with any specific questions at training@7technw.com.
