Many nice things about the class
There were many, may nice things about the class. Like any big software package, it helps to just watch an expert move through the product.
the major "ah-ha" moments came with you walking us through the tal: calls in templates, in the thoroughness of how you demo'd workflows, and walking us through OurSite, DCWorkflow and other debugging and development techniques. That's the sort of stuff it would have taken me forever to figure out.
Plone implements a lot of things in an elegant way--the separation of form and content is so thorough it's hard to appreciate until you see the big picture. The class was very good at giving me that perspective. Most other web frameworks seem kludged together in comparison. I've been testing and rolling out Plone for a few months, but now I'm going to be able to proceed in a much more sophisticated way.
