Bika LIMS for developers

Bika LIMS is a web based Open Source Laboratory Information Management System based on Plone 4.3. It's a robust LIMS that can be adapted and implemented in any laboratory, from those of small size to large research and clinic laboratories. Bika LIMS OS Project comprises a family of open source applications that leverages the power, versatility and safety provided by Plone. Each application is aimed at a different laboratory discipline: Bika LIMS (universal LIMS), Bika Health (clinical and health labs), and Interlab (proficiency testing). In this talk, we'll dissect Bika LIMS into its building parts of code and analyse each of them. We will also discuss the advantages and caveats of using Plone as the main framework for the development of a LIMS.
