Training
Need Zope explained? Need guidance for your Zope projects? Philipp is available for trainings and other kinds of consultancy. He has consulted Zope firms and organizations using Zope, both on and off-site, and given trainings all over Europe and America.
If you and your staff would like to know more about Zope, an in-house training can be tailoured to your requirements and time frame. If you would like to grow Zope in your area and/or want to share the cost with others, consider arranging a training that's open for public registration. Contact Philipp for details and pricing.

Location
When chosing the training location, keep in mind that the participants need to spend a couple of whole days in it comfortably. For smaller crowds, a large conference room may work, otherwise some form of auditorium is recommended. If available, please provide two projectors (and a location big enough for two projections side by side). Reliable internet access is an absolute must.
Prerequisites
The WorldCookery Zope 3 training is targeted at developers. While web designers and management staff have attended past trainings, the material is written for developers who have experience writing web applications.
All participants should be fairly comfortable with the Python programming language and general concepts of web programming (HTTP, HTML, XML, etc.). The Zope 3 training does not include a Python introductory course.
Each participant should bring a laptop computer that he or she is comfortable developing with. That means whichever operating system and development environment is preferred, it should be set up before coming to the training.
It is generally a good idea to bring Philipp's book to the training. Most training organizers do bulk orders for all participants in advance.
