Thanks for your replies. I will check those out. Am I correct in what I said
about the ZMI, that it should be avoided for Plone development in favour of
the filesystem? Or is the filesystem advantage negated if no source code
versioning system is required?
Development of new features should indeed NOT be done in the ZMI.
Development should be done on the file system. A versioning system for
your source code is highly recommended, but not required.
When your source code is on a file system:
- you can easily share your code with others
- you can use version control
- you can see which code you actually made, instead of guessing that it
was just a few templates in the portal skins custom map and forgetting
some scripts you added in the root, or changes you made in the portal_css
- you can test a new version of the code on your development machine
without needing a copy of the (possibly big) Data.fs
For more documentation resources I would say browse through
http://plone.org/documentation and see which documentation fits your
needs best.
Cheers,
