Joel Burton
Joel Burton is a Plone developer and trainer and long-time Zope and Python user. He was the founder of this user group, and offers Plone training for both communities and companies.
I'm a core developer of Plone, and serve as the chair of the board of Plone Foundation, the nonprofit group that
supports and protects the Plone project.
I've begun to offer my widly-popular "Plone Bootcamp" courses in many cities around the country; you can find upcoming courses and register at PloneBootcamps.com.
Most of my time is spent nowadays developing features in Plone for clients and building site backends for clients.
I'm a frequent presenter on Zope/Python/Plone. Recent presentations, other than at ZPUG, have been:
- O'Reilly's Open Source Conference (July 26) in Portland, OR: "Developing an Intranet in Plone"
- Vancouver Python Workshop (August 1) in Vancouver, BC: "Using Zope/Plone with Databases"
- Plone Conference Two (September) in Vienna, Austria: "Development Best Practices in Plone" and "Debugging Zope/Plone"

- Designing Your Website Application Architecture for Zope/Plone (Plone Conference, Vienna, Austria, from 09/20/2004 01:50 PM to 09/20/2004 02:30 PM) — by Joel Burton
- (Presented by ZPUG member Paul Boos, Sr. Systems Engineer/Project Lead of SAIC) Designing a successful web application requires a firm understanding not only of the requirements the application must meet, but also a contextual understanding of the business to which it is being placed. This allows for the proper balance of immediate needs and future enhancements by ensuring sound architectural considerations were made for an evolutionary development path. This talk will focus on how one can approach capturing actionable business processes, information architecture, and technical infrastructure and included these into the design of an application; there will be some mention of Plone, CMF, and/or Zope products that can help, but the primary focus is ensuring those that are producing applications have a solid foundation for successful, long-term solutions.
