In my last blog post, I gave you a SQL function that will return the FullPath of a given Sitecore Item.  Another common set of information one might want to retrieve from the Sitecore DB is the descendent items in the proper order as they show in the Sitecore Content Tree.  The trick to this […]

It’s not often that a Sitecore developer has to write SQL queries against the Sitecore databases because the Sitecore API handles basic CRUD operations for the developer.  It’s also a best practice to use the API so that all the hooks and handlers and pipelines and events fire the way they’re designed to.  However, there […]

The Perficient Sitecore Practice team would like to extend our congratulations to Sitecore for being named Microsoft’s ISV Partner of the Year for 2014!  You can see the full list of winners here.  As an implementation partner of Sitecore, and a Microsoft NSI who’s won a Partner of the Year award, we certainly understand the […]

I recently ran into an issue while implementing a site on Sitecore 7.1.  I searched the interwebs for an existing solution to my issue, and discovered a number of posts identifying the same issue for the initial release of 7.0.  All of these posts indicated that the issue was resolved in Update 3 of Sitecore […]

Over the last few weeks, I have been working on a white paper that describes a number of ways that the out-of-the-box functionality of the Sitecore DMS system can be extended.  I’m very pleased that the paper, Ignite the Core: Expanding Upon Sitecore’s Integrated Content Personalization Capabilities, was released last week on the Perficient website.

About a year ago today (actually, when I look at my email, it was exactly a year ago today, which is almost a too-eerie-to-be-true coincidence), I was doing some random internet searching and came across a meetup page of people in my area (Philadelphia) that had interest in Sitecore.  This made me think to myself […]

Back in June, I wrote a blog post about the Opportunity Costs of using Responsive Design with Sitecore.  In that post, I talk about the Pros’ and Cons of using one of our industries hottest buzzwords, Responsive Design (RWD) on a Sitecore implementation.  In my post, I talk about the Device concept of Sitecore which […]

Gartner released it’s latest Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management (WCM) at the end of July, and once again Sitecore is in the leaders grouping of the software providers that were evaluated.  This marks the 4th year in a row that Sitecore has achieved such an honor!  Gartner describes the software in the Leader classification […]

I recently got to see the first Responsive Designed-Sitecore powered site I have ever worked on go live.  If you’re not familiar with Responsive Design…well, where have you been?  Seriously though, Responsive Design is a pretty big buzzword in not just the tech industry but in any business that wants to be relevant in today’s […]

I’m going to be making 2 Sitecore appearances this week, one of the real-life type and one of the virtually live type. First up, I’m excited to be part of a panel of technical experts discussing Sitecore at the Washington DC Users Group meeting for April!  The event is Tuesday, April 16th at 6:00PM EST […]

Forrester Research, Inc. recently released a document where they evaluate 10 of the strongest performers in the Web Content Management space.  They name Sitecore as a strong performer in the space because of their suite approach to WCM / Digital Marketing capabilities that allow a Content Author or marketers one interface for both content management […]
