Today I had a meeting with Christian Svensson at Milagro, and
Ted Nyberg from Ted & Gustaf. Me, Ted and Peter Nyqvist (also
from Milagro) will be speaking at the Umbraco fifth birthday event
in Stockholm, but Peter is on peternity leave this week, so I
covered his bit.
I'm going to showcase the PDF Studio app i built last year,
Peter will talk about using your own XML-formatted data in the
Umbraco context and using the built-in XSLT macro engine for
presentation, and Ted will cover extension of the Umbraco UI, with
custom sections, trees, and properties.
We also decided to do all the talks in Swedish, however, I'll
cover my talks in a series of blog posts here, as mentioned
earlier, in English.
So far there's about 50 registered attendees, and I'm starting
to feel the nerves. There will be PLENTY of rehearsing :)
Ted showed me some code he's currently working on, and it was
clear that we work quite differently. His approach is "if possible
in code, code it", while I tend to lean towards the XSLT approach,
only opening Visual Studio when needed (however, I code my XSLT in
Visual Studio as well).
I'm sure that it will be a very interesting afternoon for
everyone, and there will be a lot of Umbraco experiense attending.
Niels will hit like a Kamikaze, and do a quick presentation as
well, but leaving straight afterwards for the oh-so chique Umbraco
all-you-can-drink birthday-bash in Copenhagen later in the evening.
I've got a kid, so I'm staying in Stockholm.
