PloneBootcamps provides the classic "Plone Developer Bootcamp". This 5 day, hands-on, expert-led training has been described as "required learning" and "incredibly helpful" by almost a thousand former students. We offer our courses at a low cost, to ensure that they are affordable to everyone. We also give back to local Zope/Plone user groups--together, we and our students have given over $5,000 back to help build and sustain these groups. Three new bootcamps have been added to our schedule for 2007: - BANGALORE (KARNATAKA, INDIA): March 12-16 (5 days), $200 US - SEATTLE: April 9-13 (5 days), $450 US - HOUSTON: April 16-20 (5 days), $450 US All three are the classic developer bootcamp, which covers everything you need to know to use and design Plone sites. We cover "power tricks", Archetypes, skinning, caching, and deployment. All three classes are led by Joel Burton (http://plonebootcamps.com/about/joel-burton) Details on all of these classes are at http://plonebootcamps.com/courses If you'd like to get notified when we offer new courses, please sign up for our low-volume, spam-free announcement list at http://plonebootcamps.com/about/announce - j. -- Joel Burton - joel(a)joelburton.com Zope/Plone & Knowledge Management Consultant Quality Plone Training: http://plonebootcamps.com Founding Member/Former Board, Plone Foundation: http://plone.org/foundation --

Tramline 0.5.1 Released
by Kit BLAKE 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Tramline 0.5.1 Released 23 january 2007 – Infrae has just released version 0.5.1 of Tramline. This version has improved installation and configuration, an example of setting up Tramline with Zope3, and various bug fixes. What is Tramline? Tramline is an upload and download accelerator that plugs into Apache using mod_python. Its aim is to make downloading and uploading large media to an application server easy and fast, without overloading the application server with large amounts of binary data. Only a small configuration change in Apache is necessary to enable Tramline. The application server remains in complete control over security, page and form rendering, and everything else. Minimal changes are necessary to any application to enable it to work with Tramline; in fact it’s just setting two response headers in a couple places in the code. Changes in this version * Easily installable using setuptools * Easier configuration through the Apache config files * Includes an example for setting up Tramline together with Zope 3 * Various bugfixes. Thanks to Embyr Thomas for his multipart/form-data fix, and to Chad Maine (who was able to upload over 1000 files in a single POST to a Django app!). Download Tramline 0.5.1 can be downloaded from: http://infrae.com/download/tramline. Credit We would like to thank the people at the University of Bedfordshire for making Tramline possible.
