Course Agenda
Course Agenda for the Pre-Plone-Conference Plone training on skinning.
This course will cover:
- fast, quick appearance changes for Plone sites (changing logos, colors, etc.)
- an introduction to CSS (cascading style sheets, the technology used to stylize a Plone site)
- use of the Web Developer Extensions, a browser add-on that makes understanding and testing CSS a snap
- the techniques used to stylize a Plone site, giving you complete control while providing easy upgrades between versions
- demonstrations of existing Plone sites, and how they were skinned
- useful built-in CSS styles in Plone that you can (& should!) re-use in your sites
- helping your content managers create content that "looks like" your site
- hands-on work to complete a Plone skin during class
No CSS experience is required; however, reading a quick online guide to CSS will probably benefit most students. Basic understanding of web design and HTML is required.
