    Umbraco.tv Quizzes

    Hi All

    I'm not sure where to put this question, so I went for it here!

    Is there any way to get the answers to the quiz questions? I feel completely in the dark! 

    Thanks

    Tony

    Hi Tony,

    When you are taking the quizzes on Umbraco.TV should should be able to find the answers to the quiz by watching the videos, and for each videos there are some written documentation also, when you should be able to find the answers.

    But some of the videos requires that you are subscribe to the Umbraco TV and others are free to watch. You donĀ“t have the option to see what questions that you answers correct and which you answers wrong.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis

    Thanks for that. We got a subscription to Umbraco.tv so it's all go! I was doing the Surface Controllers quiz. I think I have 3 questions right, but am unsure about the others and now having done the quiz too many times I am unsure of what I was sure of! I couldn't find the answers in the videos (watched them all twice!) and even read the documentation. The videos make sense, it would just be nice to complete the whole task!

    Hi Dennis

    I watched the Surface Controllers videos again today. Can you help me with the quiz:

    When would you consider using SurfaceControllers in Umbraco?

    For data submission. (I'm thinking forms are data submission)

    Where can you find the SurfaceController class?

    Surface.web.mvc namespace (I understood it to be here, but it inherits from Umbraco.Web.Mvc.Controllers namepace - so I'm confused!)

    What advantage doesn't a SurfaceController offer over a regular Controller?

    I don't understand this question. A SurfaceController is auto routed and has access to Umbraco helpers, so I'm guessing either You can use is on your Umbraco frontend or It doesn't need methods (but it does need methods right?)

    When you want to start adding Validation what is the first step?

    Add a validation message to your view. (I remember that from the documentation!)

    How should you make sure you have a working form in your view?

    Make use of the BeginUmbracoForm helper method (I remember this from the videos!)

    That's too bad you didn't pass the test. AGH!!

     

    Thanks

    Tony

    Hi Dennis

    Thank you so much for taking the time for that. I was at it for hours! Getting more frustrated by the minute! Another badge = another section completed!

    :)
