Open space topic suggestion: What I wish I had known in my first 30 days with Umbraco
This fast-paced session is for beginners who want to learn from (rather than repeat) others' mistakes.
Experience is a great teacher, especially when you can learn from someone else's mistakes!
In a fast-paced review of Doug's first umbraco site, we'll look at techniques and concepts that would have made the site better, faster, and easier to build... if only he had known them when he started.
Topics include:
- content organization... can make life easy or hard
- document types and templates... what, why, and how many
- xslt macros are easy... if you use the built-in samples
- simplifying the user experience... makes you a hero
- don't reinvent the wheel... modules, packages, and code available to pillage
- looking for help... you're never alone with umbraco
- your questions!
