Represented on the Panel is:

Christian Hoffmann, Lambretta Watches running a e-commerce website on top of Umbraco and Ucommerce
Vidar Aune Westrum from Komplett Group, managing marketing and sales content as part of the massive Komplett website operations

Unit Testing Umbraco
Sep 21, 2016 – 54:55
our-codegarden-2016 codegarden16
Automated tests for software has become the de facto standard for professional development. For web and apps as well as traditional software. Using the best CMS out there is no excuse.
The code we write for it is just as important to test. Many will give up though. Unit testing can be hard to get good at in itself, and when tightly coupled code looms ahead it might be even easier to let it go. Umbraco is no different - it's has had its ups and downs with respect to testability. However, hope is not lost for us Umbracians.
This session will show you how to write tests for the bits and pieces developers most often write for Umbraco.
Umbraco + Firebase
Sep 21, 2016 – 39:38
our-codegarden-2016 codegarden16
Creating dynamic apps in the cloud with Firebase & UaaS

Firebase is Google’s full stack NoSQL cloud platform that allows developers to build extraordinary realtime apps. Combine that with the power of UaaS, you’ve got a blissful duo: an app in the cloud supported by a database in the cloud!

In this session, Badi will take you on a wild ride of speed-coding with Firebase’s JavaScript APIs to build a real-world application in UaaS. We will explore the key features of Firebase including realtime data synchronization, user authentication and session management and how this plays nicely with UaaS to help you create dynamic apps in the cloud that are ready to use and ready to scale—all in a few simple steps. You will also learn how you can easily authenticate users of your app on social platforms like Facebook and Twitter!
Umbraco community inclusion efforts
Sep 21, 2016 – 54:56
our-codegarden-2016 codegarden16
To truly innovate, we cannot afford to leave behind half our population. In recent years, there's been a push to increase the number of women and minorities in the science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) fields, but despite this push, the numbers have not really changed much in the last 14 years, and the Umbraco community is not immune to this phenomena. In this session, we'll be taking a deeper look at what we're up against, why we should be paying attention to it, and initiatives we can explore moving forward as we work to build a more inclusive, successful, and innovative community.
Umbraco as a Service and Visual Studio
Sep 21, 2016 – 56:48
our-codegarden-2016 codegarden16
So you created a new Umbraco as a Service Project, but all you got was a url to clone a git repository. But how do you get up and running when Visual Studio is your preferred tool for developing Umbraco based solutions?

In this session we will look at what you get after clicking "Create Project" in the Umbraco as a Service Portal, and how you get from a newly created project to a solution in Visual Studio.

We will also talk about Developer workflows around Umbraco as a Service Projects, and take a look at what the future has in store for Visual Studio + Umbraco as a Service and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM).

There’s a new kid in town. This guy is called Design Thinking, and luckily, has nothing to do with Designer Divas. Instead, Design Thinking is a tool for digital projects that is not about aesthetics but about getting a better understanding of user needs.

Understanding user needs within the project team is key to success, and in this session, Laura will walk you through the process on how to apply the understanding of user needs to the project team in a web development process.

By applying a few very simple tricks you will experience a much better collaboration within the project team and with the client. It might even earn you a hug from the designer.

Successful companies work in vastly different ways, and their advice for success are often at edge. If flat hierarchies promote creativity, how can Apple be so creative and lucrative? If A/B-testing and User Research truly are vital processes, how can so many companies build great products without them? And is it actually important to be agile? Let’s talk about why it’s so difficult to know what truly helps us succeed, and what to do about it.

Sep 21, 2016 – 51:44

Working at agencies developing solutions on Umbraco, Theo and Andy have been finding personalisation of content an oft requested feature. Although Umbraco doesn't currently offer an out of the box solution in this area, with the help of some community packages we are able to deliver personalised solutions to site visitors that are general purpose, extensible and under day to day control of the website editors.

In this session we'll discuss how personalised features can be delivered on Umbraco, using the Personalisation Groups and Pipeline CRM community packages.

Komplett Group and Umbraco
Sep 21, 2016 – 45:52
our-codegarden-2016 codegarden16
We'll look at how a leading European e-commerce player uses Umbraco as a content production platform and how it's used for content delivery in a service based architecture.

Komplett Group has experienced large growth. Moving from being the nordics largest e-commerce player to one of Europe’s. This has demanded that the internal back office tools needs a major overhaul. Ramping up the developer team from 5 to 50 developers in just over a year, has allowed them to split up the long living monolith into micro services. For content handling, Umbraco has played an important role in this process.

In this session, you will learn how to use Umbraco as a headless CMS an approach DeCare Systems Ireland (DSI) took as they saw it has brought value to their customers while allowing faster development cycle.

We will explain the difference between traditional and headless CMS on a practical example used on the Avon.com website. We’ll start by looking at the importance of the API and raw data focusing on the implementation details explaining modular structure and its benefits. After a deep dive into code we’ll finish outlining the scalability, applicability, extensibility and overall pros and cons of the headless CMS approach.

The goal of this session is to give you an overview of how easy it is to extend Umbraco and deliver flexible modular content components to provide real value to your customers.

How we Run The Umbraco Open Source Project
Sep 20, 2016 – 53:19
our-codegarden-2016 codegarden16
Have you always wondered what it looks like in the kitchen of Umbraco when we "cook" the software you love? Then this session is for you!

If you've ever built a piece of software for a client, you know it can be a complex task. There's multiple stakeholders who are all interested in getting their wishes implemented in the end result and there's schedules to live up to.

On a daily basis the team who builds Umbraco needs to plan and prioritize all of the wonderful community contributions. From bug reports to pull requests, new feature ideas and occasionally some hate (turn that frown upside down!), we juggle it all, even though it may look like there might be too many cooks in the kitchen.

This session features a special guest star appearance from Blake Smith (http://helloblake.com/) who will send her first pull request live on stage. She'll show you how easy it is for a "newbie" contributor to improve Umbraco and offer her awesome changes back to us for inclusion in the next release of Umbraco.

What's in it for you? By understanding how we work you'll know how to best get our attention at getting your awesome ideas added to Umbraco. As an added bonus, this empowers you to not only help yourself but improve the lives of all the hundreds of thousands of people working with Umbraco on a daily basis!

We all think we know how a shopping cart should work, we all think we know what is best for our clients. But what can you really know until you’ve had a go yourself.

Cutting Edge Knives is an on-going project selling high end kitchen knives that was bootstrapped by the team at Offroadcode. We became the client while also being the developer, a rare mix indeed. Only by being a client did we see some of the bottle necks, issues and opportunities of a long running site from both side of the fence. As the developers we could balance up what to fix, what to change and what to put up with. 2 years in and our experiences have changed the way we work with our other clients, what we focus on, what we deliver and how.

A nice mix of business, code, design, tracking, best practise and hopefully some laughs at the expense of customs officials. Bring a beer and get comfy.

You make TWO sites every time you build a site in Umbraco: one for website visitors, and one for the content editors.

In this lively discussion, appropriate for everyone who builds websites, the focus will be squarely on the editors' site.

Using case stories and real-world experience, Thomas and Douglas will demonstrate the foundational principles you need to know to build world-class sites. You'll see bad examples of sites and learn how to do it better for your clients and content editors.

This presentation isn't just a collection of recipes, it's a dynamic discussion and demonstration where you'll learn not just HOW but also WHEN and WHY to mix Umbraco ingredients to deliver a perfectly balanced site.

Presented by two guys who have "been there and done that" and care passionately about building websites content editors love to use.

Images are a time-consuming part of content management. How can we improve this while supporting an ever-growing range of devices? How do we gain agility while offering even more image variants?
Image management doesn't have to be hard. We will examine packages, techniques, and libraries that can simplify your workflow.
Even with messy photo collections of varying aspect ratios, there are easy ways to implement image galleries, light-boxes, slideshows, and Pinterest-style layouts.
How should you handle exponential growth of media assets? How do you transition to blob storage and a CDN?
As websites grow more image-heavy each year, how can we leverage new formats like WebP and JPEG XR to cut bandwidth costs and delays?
And last, how can we provide future-proof responsive images *today*?

Building Javascript applications on Umbraco
Aug 11, 2015 – 41:3
our-codegarden-2013 Code Garden 2013
Today, more than ever, websites is about creating an experience for the users. With large images to load, more smartphone users and more and more content, the need for lightweight ajax is what can transform a good website into a GREAT website.

Creating Tea Commerce 2 (e-commerce package for Umbraco) has given me the time and opportunity to explore new and easy ways of creating a solid ajax API using Umbraco. The three keywords have been simplicity, browser compatibility and no javascript fallback.

This session will be a walkthrough of the principle of Umbraco base and building a JavaScript API for Umbraco. You will see how easy it is to get a simple JavaScript API up and running. Then I’ll dive into a practical example writing a functional piece of code. The example will include HTML, JavaScript ajax using jQuery, JSON and .NET REST extensions using Umbraco /base. At the end we will extend the example with more advanced features.

By Morten Christensen / Umbraco HQ
Since version 6 of Umbraco the Core has gotten a bunch of new management services, which are used by the backoffice to create content types, content, media, members and more or less everything else you can do from the backoffice. These services are publicly available, so you can utilize them when building websites to enrich the editor experience through specialized property editors, dashboards or to create content, media and members through forms on your website.

In this session we will dive into the most used services from a website implementators perspective using concrete examples and briefly walk through which other services might be usable in other scenarios such as package creation.

Marc's session will focus on the user experience within the back office content management. While we invest a lot of time and money in thought through and well engineered frontends, the experience for the editorial team often comes short. This session is not primarily about tools, packages or plugins, though he will show, discuss and recommend some in the course of it. Over all Marc's session is about the process of being aware, caring about, planning and crafting a backend that is easy to use and assists the productivity of authors, content editors, digital marketers and content strategists alike.
Why CMS is a core part of the Future of Retail
Aug 10, 2015 – 52:47
our-codegarden-2014 Code Garden 2014
By Martin Frederiksen / Klean

Technology and changes in consumer behavior is changing retail rapidly and forever. The good old days will return in new and unexpected ways, backed by technology. Content management is a core part of the new user experience, and new websites and e-commerce projects must be built to support content marketing and digital integration in stores.

Simplicity is by the way a core part of this. I’ll present a load of slides with examples of the modern retail experience backed by examples of implementation, where and why Umbraco is a strategic fit and how it can be used to connect to new devices and screens apart from the desktop browser or smartphone.
MVC Purée

Andy Butland / Zone

Given my background in the development of both Umbraco CMS and custom web applications using ASP.Net MVC, when MVC rendering support was featured in V4.10, it was the obvious way to go for future projects.

Working at gold partner Zone in London, we've built a number of sites using Umbraco and MVC. We've found that there's actually a number of different ways to do "MVC with Umbraco": the perhaps traditional Umbraco way with a fair bit of logic and data access in the templates or views, using surface controllers and child actions and/or using route hijacking. We've used a number of these approaches and found costs and benefits of each - which I think would make an interesting session.

Currently the model I use - and would focus on in the talk - is to go a more purist MVC approach, using dependency injection, thin controllers with route hijacking, mapping of Umbraco content to custom view models and use of strongly typed views. Tieing all this together is a mapping package (http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-mapper) that we've recently built, released and discussed on auHangout. We also look to use unit testing where possible.

In summary, the proposed discussion would be on ways to use MVC in Umbraco, and would cover:

quick primer on ASP.Net MVC and best practices in this area
approaches to MVC in Umbraco
surface controllers
route hijacking
custom view models and strongly typed views
mapping from Umbraco and other content to these view models
unit testing challenges and approaches
Q & A (no doubt there's as much to learn in this area as to impart!)
Planning an Umbraco Build
Jul 31, 2015 – 66:53
our-codegarden-2014 Code Garden 2014
Pete Duncanson

No code, no Visual Studio session, no developer skill required to attend and hear some good advice on planning an Umbraco build from the trenches.

We've been working hard on getting our setup right for building great websites well. We've picked up some tips and tricks along the way we'd like to share. These cover specing out the site in Trello cards (which fields to add to the doctype, what the template should do, what C# do we need), creating and using a base build, which fields to add as default and how to go about getting the best site you can in the quickest time.

Keeping three developers and a design busy takes some planning so we try to make it so everyone has a job they can take on at any time and ensure no one drops the ball.

Follow that up with all those little jobs that always get over looked (the favicon, the robots.txt, the compression of assets, the tracking code, etc.) these all need to be planned for and done by someone. Once again Trello comes to the rescue and we will show you some tricks on how to get it singing.
Merchello: Open Source eCommerce for Umbraco 7
Jul 31, 2015 – 52:22
our-codegarden-2014 Code Garden 2014
After years of working with the power and flexibility of Umbraco CMS, we saw the need for a stable, high performance eCommerce platform that could be driven by community contribution. We wanted to design something that can leverage the advanced power of Umbraco itself, yet easy enough in design and coding for a community of developers and designers to continue improving it.

Inspired by Shopify, AbleCommerce, Magento and others, Merchello brings a fast and reliable online store capability to the latest version of Umbraco CMS.

In this talk we will demonstrate Merchello and talk about how you can use it now for your eCommerce projects. In addition, we will talk about how it was built, our roadmap for the future, and how you can contribute to the project.

The Session

Spring '14: Umbraco is Belle and beautiful, can smell it in the air, flowers everywhere and crazy new packages that just raise content creation and editing to new heights. Yet down under, in the dirty and smelly machine room, obstinate dwarfs have also been at work all winter to architect, refactor, improve and extend the engine that powers it all.

Not everything has surfaced, though. Maybe because it just works, or due to a lack of documentation, or because it's all internal at the moment and you don't even know it's there: yep, that complex work-around you're working on might very well almost exist already in Core!

This session focuses on some of the new or modified components of Core that impact the front-end part of a website. Starting from real-life challenges such as "how can I customize my urls", it details how Core's internals work, and the various solutions it can propose.

Come hear about PublishedContentRequest, content finders and "not found" handlers, IPublishedContent and the content cache, property value converters, ways to navigate the content tree and the status of strongly-typed content, MVC views models and more. Learn how it works and become more efficient at using it!

Supercharge your Umbraco

Chris Gaskell // Detangled Digital
So you want to scale your beautiful Umbraco install? The site you've built has become so popular that you need to handle 500+ concurrent users. You don't want to increase the number of Umbraco servers and what you implement has to be affordable.

Well how about boosting performance? We'll have a look through the different options available from within Umbraco and .NET such as macro caching, output caching,donut caching and other performance options. We'll see how you can easily implement these and how you can manage them.

But what when those options just aren’t enough? Or you're scaling an application which you can’t alter?

Rolling in Varnish. Varnish is a reverse HTTP proxy and sits between the user and your application server. Varnish is REALLY FAST and it'll help you scale hugely. It'll also give you some redundancy. You'll have more control, have the ability to develop more complexity and it's cost effective. We'll see that running Umbraco on a modest application server with Varnish will allow you to scale to the demands of the web today.

Antoine Giraud and Leandro Benitez // Lecoati
During our session we are going to present a set of Umbraco 7 packages we have created to revolutionize the content creation and editing experience. We have imagined and developed a new way to manage and create amazing websites in a few short steps with Umbraco. Umbraco is already the best and friendliest CMS in the market; we have hand-picked the best ingredients and packaged them together, offering on the fly, à la carte, content creation. We will showcase how easily this kit allows a website’s content to be created and customized in just a few clicks, and how dynamic the resulting content can be, pushing the limits of imagination. We will discuss how we carried out this project and how these tools fit like a glove with Umbraco. We will also discuss what we are expecting from the project and which are the commercial values it adds to Umbraco.
Going native with Umbraco and Phonegap

our-codegarden-2014 Code Garden 2014
Theo Paraskevopoulos / Grow Create

Mobile-optimized web design does not solve all problems, and sometimes a native app is the way to go. The good news is that apps can be created with standard web development tools and Umbraco.

In this session, I will take a responsive Umbraco 7 website, prep it up and convert it to a native app with Phonegap. Attendees can then install it on their Android and iOS devices, in real time.

In the process, I will introduce Phonegap and code up a REST API for Umbraco content and navigation. I will talk about why I avoid jQuery Mobile, and use alternatives which are flexible as well as easy-to-use. Finally, I will touch on the notoriously fussy processes associated with testing, debugging and releasing to App Stores.

The subject matter is not exactly revolutionary, but things are moving fast. My approach builds on personal experience, based on very recent projects and I am sure the community will find useful.

What was your most recent brilliant idea? Have you fantasized about having the time and the freedom to build that project you've been talking about? Perhaps it's a web app, Umbraco package, or beer drinking game that everyone's going to love. What is the one thing you wish you could do? There just may be a way to keep your doors open for business and to work on that pet project.

With a non-developer, non-designer perspective, Anne-Marie, who is soon to be an Umbraco client, will be speaking about her experience as an open source project sponsor. Even better, the project is scheduled for completion later this year, so she's right in the middle of it. She'll give you the skinny on what convinced her that Open Source was worth the investment, steps she took to mitigate risk and how she keeps tabs on progress.

The success of Umbraco is all about you, the community - and your drive to take open source projects to the next level. Use this time to find answers to your nagging questions, and consider what possibilities await you.

We want a corporate Umbraco platform! Errr.. Sure!
Jul 7, 2015 – 43:43
our-codegarden-2015 Code Garden 2015
We want to take you on a journey through our project of consolidating a scattered landscape of dozens of Umbraco websites with different Umbraco versions, with each it's own customization to one multilingual Corporate Marketing platform.

To set up such a holy grail is not easy, due to the many stakeholders within the company such as marketing, several business units, IT operations, design agencies, with each their our opinion, concerns and requirements. Keeping all those parties happy requires a lot of deliberations.

Our main goal was organizing a long term development process that fully supports html-unfamiliar content editors who can quickly setup new websites according the needs of their business unit. Websites that all have a personal look and feel while sharing a corporate branding.

Creating a generic Umbraco platform meant we designed a (pre-grid) widget system to facillitate a flexible page setup while being consistent with the corporate UX guidelines. On a broader level we introduced content classification, instead of many content types, in combination with a Solr integration. This way each website can organize it's own page types (without any IT dependency) supported by an advanced faceted search.

With this platform in place screaming to reap all its possibilities we're now looking at a roadmap that will quickly introduce new features like usage of The Grid, a corporate wide search,...

Selling Umbraco

We all have to “sell Umbraco”. The CMS itself might be free of charge, but convincing stakeholders to go with Umbraco can be daunting. After all, CMS Matrix lists some 1289 systems to choose from.

As the technical lead of a digital agency, I have “sold Umbraco” more times than I can remember. I have sold it to small companies and multinationals, IT and Marketing Directors, for projects of all shapes and sizes.

We, the Umbraco community, have a vested interest in Umbraco doing well. In this session I want to offer practical tips and share lessons learnt to help spread the word far and wide.

A good content editing experience is as important as a good working website. In this session I will show you how to make the content editing workflow better resulting in happier editors.

I will show some commonly used practices in setting up the backoffice. But more importantly I will show how you can improve them to create a better editor experience.

This will all be done with existing property editors. So no need for angular coding.
Contributing to the core

our-codegarden-2015 Code Garden 2015
One of the best things about Umbraco is that it's open source and you can contribute features and fixes. It's addictive.

Obviously, making a contribution is not only great for your dopamine levels but it is also great for the Umbraco project. There's plenty of things that the core team can use a little help on, making the project better for everyone.

Sebastiaan and Chriztian will tell you all about how you can contribute to the core of Umbraco, even if you don't have Visual Studio installed at all.

They will cover different ways to contribute, how to work with git and github, what if you have a merge conflict and many more topics.

There will be plenty of examples and Seb and Chriztian will inspire you to then join them in the hack room where they will be available for the rest of the afternoon to help you submit your first (and second, and third..) contribution.
Building a global platform to deliver human rights change for Amnesty International
Jul 7, 2015 – 52:23
our-codegarden-2015 Code Garden 2015
Code Computerlove recently worked with charity Amnesty International to totally redevelop their global website. It was a particularly exciting project creating a website that could contribute to human rights change at an international level, whilst delivering a solution that could support the organisation on its journey towards digital transformation.

In this session, we’ll be discussing how and why we chose Umbraco to help us meet Amnesty’s requirements and how we turned the first development stage of the project round in the space of just 12 weeks.

Topics include:

- Our approach to website instance scaling using Azure and some of the lessons we learned about how best to implement Umbraco on this platform.
- Our approach to multi-lingual content. The Amnesty site needed to be fully multi-lingual in 4 languages including Arabic with certain content in selected languages. We delivered a 1-to-1 multilingual site using the Vorto package.
- How we delivered a suite of flexible templates and components to support Amnesty’s powerful photo-journalism and campaigning. We needed to develop a creative solution that would do justice to Amnesty’ amazing content across device and bandwidth. Allowing editors around the globe to be able to tell the story of what’s happening on the ground at the click of a button.

We all use Umbraco as a website Content Management System. We use it to manage content in various formats and we deliver beautifully crafted HTML templates that our users view through a web browser. Furthermore we have a great UI, a hierarchal data structure and the ability to deliver the output from our templates in a super snappy fashion.

Now let’s just step back a bit. The only tie-in we have to the "world wide web" is that the templates we deliver have a content-type set to "TEXT/HTML" - and we can change this quite easily! So why restrict Umbraco to just website content delivery?

What if we thought of our users as “clients” (as in a 'client / server’) and not just people sat in front of computers and mobile devices, but servers, proxies and services too.
This talk explores the use of Umbraco as a content management system, but not just as a system to manage websites - we explore how we can use it to manage content that powers telecommunications systems, services and apps, with some fun demo’s along the way.
