I'm really sorry if I can't look for. Didn't find anything. I need to create an environment (!) for developing (a couple of) new sites in Umbraco 8 … ideally that I can add new functionality in one place and reuse it. And later improve these sites.
Is the right way to have a development environment in Visual Studio and publish it to production from there or you need to build and then customize your starter kit? I did not find instructions on how to publish from the Studio. Please advise how to work effectively. The "right way" (guidelines). I am not a novice (neither Umbraco nor .NET). Thanks.
I agree, it's hard to find good information on how to get started with Umbraco in Visual Studio. There's probably an article somewhere with good instructions, but I think to get started you can do one of the following (I browsed the documentation for a while, and this is what I found):
Install Umbraco using VS Code, and then open the website with Visual Studio and work your way through any issues you might run into
Thank you for your answer. I have done these steps. It works. I am able to publish site to production from VS by FTP … but I am not sure about usability in common cases. The main question is near "How to organize development (share stuff) and publishing & updating of several sites?"
Several solutions in VS?
Publish by FTP or with Deploy?
How to hande database?
Quite difficult.
