Alfresco is an open source platform for Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions. Packt's "Alfresco Developer Guide" will help customize Alfresco with actions, web scripts, web forms, workflows, and more. It will walk one through the customizations made as part of an enterprise-wide rollout of Alfresco; from custom actions to RESTful web scripts and everything in between. You would be able to learn to customize the entire Alfresco platform, including both Document Management and Web Content Management.

"Alfresco Developer Guide" is jam-packed with real-world, step-by-step examples to jump start your development. Implementing Alfresco usually involves extending the repository to accommodate your business-specific metadata and business logic. These extensions are done using some combination of Java, JavaScript, XML, and FreeMarker. This book takes you through a set of exercises as if you were rolling out and customizing the platform for a fictional organization called SomeCo, which wants to roll out Alfresco enterprise-wide. Each department has a set of requirements that need addressed. This book will show you how to extend Alfresco to meet these requirements.

You can read an exclusive chapter at the publisher's website. By the time you've worked through the entire book, you will be familiar with the entire platform. You'll be prepared to make your own customizations whether they are part of a Document Management solution, a web site that uses Alfresco for content storage, or an entire custom application built on Alfresco's REST API. This book will give you the knowledge and confidence you need to make Alfresco do what you need it to do.
