Introduction

Although this is my follow up of the examples from the book "Alfresco One 5.x Developer's Guide (Github repository)", this development uses the alfresco all-in-one SDK 3.1.0, aiming for Alfresco 5.2.x customizations.

Alfresco Versions

Alfresco have 3 versions:

• Alfresco community: It's the open source version of Alfresco, so it doesn't have support from the Alfresco developers, but you can find a lot of help in the community and the site's guides and tutorials.
• Alfresco Enterprise: Also known as Alfresco Enterprise, it is the premium version of Alfresco and to use it, you need to pay some fee. It has support from the Alfresco developers and some integrations that don't come with the open source version. Also known as the full version.
• Alfresco Cloud: It comes with cloud integration from the Alfresco servers, so all the content is stored in the cloud. Also needs a fee to be paid.

Although the guide focuses on Alfresco One 5.x, a lot of concepts are valid to this day and are deeply explained. For a more current tutorial, follow the Alfresco Developer Series by Jeff Potts. and check its repository

This repository replicates the book guide for Alfresco community 5.2.e
