UPDATE: I was a little too fast on the trigger yesterday - June 1st is a bank holiday in Denmark, so the Level 1 course will start on the 2nd and not the 1st!

By request we'll run the highly praised Umbraco courses again on June 2-3rd and 4-5th.

The courses will follow the very same model that have made the last ten rounds of courses a massive success, and just like last it'll focus entirely about Umbraco 4!

So we'll look at Masterpages, XSLT Debugging with Visual Studio, the new Event model, Canvas Editing, Membership Providers, Package creation and many of the other improvements that have made Umbraco 4 a milestone in Web CMS. By attending the course you'll be among the first to become experts and certified on the new platform.

The agendas for the courses are as follows:

June 2-3rd: Level 1 - implementing websites using umbraco:

  • Understanding the umbraco basics - Boost/Nitro, Document Types, Templates and Macros (including usage of the new Masterpages functionality)
  • Creating a simple website from scratch
  • Understanding XSLT - creating a news "module"
  • Creating multi-language websites including coverage of Dictionary Items and Languages
  • Advanced properties: Re-use of properties and recursive usage of properties
  • Two-way feedback using AutoForms and Notifications
  • Optimizing markup for Canvas Editing
  • Great Packages: Implementing full-text searching and mail forms

June 4-5h: Level 2 - umbraco for .NET Developers, extending and integrating solutions:

  • Usage of .NET User Controls with umbraco
  • Debugging XSLT and .NET Controls with umbraco and Visual Studio
  • In-depth explanation of the umbraco object model and usage of the umbraco presentation APIs
  • Creating, importing and modifying content from .NET using the API
  • Usage of AJAX and umbraco
  • Extending XSLT with custom .NET classes
  • Custom event handling in umbraco using the brand new event handlers in Umbraco 4
  • How to integrate legacy authentication systems using Membership and Role Provider

The registration is open and the first seats are already booked - as always we encourage you to register fast as the past courses have all sold out (and as mentioned the last one in 24 hours!).

    What are the odds of recording these sessions so those who are unable to attend can still benefit somewhat?

  2. Gravatar ImageHartvig Says:

    @Shane: None. But you might consider umbraco.tv if you can't attend.

    .tv is great.. but thought it would be nice to just set a cam in the corner and record the whole works.. no worries though. Thanks for the reply.
