Talk details
The plone.api is an elegant and simple API, built for humans wishing to develop with Plone. It comes with cookbook-like documentation with step-by-step instructions for doing common development tasks in Plone. Recipes try to assume the user does not have extensive knowledge about Plone internals. The talk will be about the philosophy and rationale behind it, what it offers and how to use it.
