Workshop: Plone Theming with Diazo

Cris Ewing, an experienced Python instructor from Seattle, will be giving a workshop on Diazo (http://diazo.org) on July 16th. The workshop is sponsored by the Boston Python Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/bostonpython/events/232221305/).

Diazo is the theming engine used in Plone; it is written in Python and allows you to map content from a dynamic website into a static HTML/CSS theme using a set of rules. Diazo compiles the theme and the rules into an XSLT file which is then used by an XSLT processor to transform the dynamic content into themed content. Thus: Diazo writes XSLT so you don't have to.

Diazo can be used standalone with any dynamic website but it is built into Plone 5, which includes a through-the-web theming tool that makes it easy to get started. Cris will teach us to use this tool to build a theme that can be used on any Plone site based on an off-the-shelf, fully responsive HTML5 layout.

Don't miss this free opportunity to get familiar with Plone 5 and its amazing theming engine!
