Hi Eran,

The differences between the version 6.2.1 VS 7.1.4 is that the version 6.2.1 is running Webforms by defeault, but you can use MVC in that version too it just requires some change to the UmbracoSettings file located in the config folder. ~/config/umbracoSettings.config

<defaultRenderingEngine>Mvc</defaultRenderingEngine>

The Umbraco 7 version has got a brand new design for the backoffice and it´s run MVC by default. And the backoffice of Umbraco 7 is using angularJS

In is blogpost you can see how new design is looking in Umbraco 7. Niels taking about new features in Umbraco 7 too.

Hi Eran

You should also notice the differences in system requirements between the differences Umbraco versions: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/system-requirements

There are a lot of improvements to the backoffice UI in Umbraco 7, where there have been focused on more modern browsers.. so you should e.g. consider if your clients use Internet Explorer that they use IE10+ otherwise there might be some bugs in older versions of Internet Explorer in Umbraco 7.

But I think Umbraco 7 have become quite stable now, so I would choose the latest version of Umbraco 7 :)

Thank you both.

Also, why there are two places with tutorials, here and here

I just think it's because the videoes on http://umbraco.com/help-and-support/video-tutorials was before the website for umbraco.tv was created, I there only are videos for Umbraco 4 (maybe also Umbraco 6) on http://umbraco.com/help-and-support/video-tutorials, where new videos for Umbraco 7 are added to umbraco.tv.

But many of the concepts in the videos and tutorials on xslt, razor, document types etc. can still be used in Umbraco 6 and 7, but perhaps with some changes in the code. On umbraco.tv you will find more videos relevant to Umbraco 7: http://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/

The fundamentals videos here http://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/implementor/fundamentals/ are btw free to watch.

OK thanks, and what about Modules?

In Drupal for example there are plenty of Modules, I can't seem to find any for Umbraco..

Hi Eran,

In Umbraco they are called packages. You can find pakcages here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects and as you can see you can browse packages for specific Umbraco releases.

You can install packages to Umbraco on different ways, take a look at this documentation. http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/packages-and-projects/how-to-install-a-package
