By the time you’ve worked through the entire book, you will be familiar with the entire platform.
We will show you how to extend Alfresco to meet these requirements. Each department has a set of requirements that need addressed. 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. These extensions are done using some combination of Java, JavaScript, XML, and FreeMarker. Implementing Alfresco usually involves extending the repository to accommodate your business-specific metadata and business logic. The repository is surrounded by a services layer (supporting both SOAP and REST) that makes getting content into and out of the repository a breeze, which is why so many next generation Internet solutions are built on Alfresco.
At its core is a repository for rich content like documents, web assets, XML, and multimedia. ECM includes things like Document Management, Web Content Management, Collaboration/Enterprise 2.0, Digital Asset Management, Records Management, and Imaging. Description: Alfresco is an open source platform for Enterprise Content Management solutions.
