The Razor view engine for ASP.NET is now built into Umbraco and
provides the first viable alternative to XSLT macro's. It's safe to
say that Razor is the future of macro development in Umbraco. No
more need to learn XSLT: your average .net developer can just use
C# (or VB, if they must) and get intellisense in Visual Studio. No
more need to do explicit compiles of your source code, no more
having to use XSLT "tricks" that are hard to find: just look up how
you would do it in .net and write it. In this talk you'll be shown
tips & tricks and an overview of the helpers that are built
into Umbraco. If you care about being very productive with Umbraco,
you will not want to miss this.
Sebastiaan Janssen has been using content management systems for
over a decade, but never with as much pleasure as with Umbraco now.
He loves the web and does freelance work for his company Cultiv Web
Development and works for WVD Media. He became an Umbraco
enthousiast 2 years ago after working with it for a few evenings
and comparing it to the systems he was used to working with. A few
months later, a job opportunity came about where he would be able
to work with only Umbraco. He jumped at the oppertunity and has
been an Umbracoholic ever since.
During the questions, someone asked about the analog to "Position" in XSLT. In the upcoming version 4.7.1 you can do IsLast and IsFirst to achieve something like it.
I doubt, however, that you'll be able to read the screen, I didn't enlarge the font as in the theatre the screen was huge, but on video it's only just readable in fullscreen mode.

Anyway I can get the videos from the festival as a download? Tried the podcast link on the player but it doesn't seemt to do anything (probably me!).
Want to get them on the phone so I can watch on the commute.
