Sitecore

Every web solution should be built around a framework of best practices to allow smooth upgrades and new functionality implementation. For Sitecore projects, Helix is that set of best practices.

There has always been an amazing amount of quality sessions at Sitecore Symposium, but this year it feels like there is “infinite content” available. Luckily, the sessions are separated into tracks. As a techie, the Developer Track is for me, but it is still not an easy choice. I have read the PDF for the […]

It is less than 80 days now until the big event (well, big event for some of us). I am registered and booked my flight, but there is still a long road forward. If you have not registered, heed my warning: it will sell out fast. Next is choosing and booking your Pre-Symposium Seminars. There […]
