Plone

Anybody know anything about Plone? Is it easy to learn? Or easy only if I already know Python (I don't)? Good web primers?

Boss is thinking of asking me to attend a week-long Plone boot camp, but I don't even have beginner's knowledge.

I had never heard of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plone_%28content_management_system%29

It was named for a band. How odd.

Anyhow, the links from there look, at first blush, to possibly give you what you need?

(Now I am curious.)

Good news: Python is dead easy to learn.

More good news: Plone doesn't require a knowledge of Python, and you shouldn't have much difficulty with it, anyway.

Plone is very easy to work with, from the little I've done with it in the past. Interesting CMS, but didn't fit my needs. Still, I'd jump at the chance to go to a week long Plone camp. What do I have to do to work for your boss? *grin*

Curiosity; why Plone? Or maybe I mean to ask, for what problem is Plone the answer?
