Chapter 1. The Alfresco Platform

This chapter introduces the Alfresco platform and answers the question, "What can I do with this thing?" A few examples will be provided to help answer this question from the "solving business problems" perspective. The chapter then skims over basic configuration and customization before introducing the advanced customization concepts covered throughout the book. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion on the different Alfresco editions that are available.

In this chapter, we will go through the following points:

  • Examples of practical solutions built on Alfresco

  • High-level components of the Alfresco platform

  • Examples of the types of customizations that you will likely perform as a part of your implementation

  • Technologies you will use to extend the platform
