Having now created a couple of sites in Umbraco, thought I would download the source code and have a look at it, have a go at making some plugins and see how it went.
So, downloaded the code, installed Code Contracts, compiled and got it to run. Was kind of expecting to see the Umbraco front end waiting to start a new site, but just got the Runway start page.
So, and I appreciate that I have spent all of 10 minutes at this, is there an outline document of the hows and whys of running the source. As in, what should I see when I run it, do I need to have another site that I copy the DLL's etc over to, if I am creating a plugin does it need to be done as a seperate project to Umbraco.
Any pointers as to how to get going would be appreciated.
