Recognizing the need for training in customizing the look & feel of Plone, C Squared (C2E) will start hosting quarterly training sessions focused on the “art of theming”.  Our first 3 day session is tentatively scheduled for March of 2009 (depending on response) and will focus on creating a Plone 3 theme.  Trainees will be able to convert a photoshop file to an installable Plone 3 theme product. Training will include comprehensive css training (with more focus on Plone specific css), making sense of viewlets and portlets, adding your own css and javascript files, understanding generic setup profiles (making your changes in the zmi and exporting) and best practices for theming Plone sites.
Knowledge of Python is not necessary but basic knowledge of *nix or windows command line and comfort with working on the filesystem is suggested. An introduction to the future of Plone theming (Deliverance) will be included.

Please start by filling out the following survey so I can gauge interest and plan accordingly

Projected cost (to cover rental of facility, catering and the training itself) is $800 for a 3 day session

Thank You
