Creative Web Specialist - An online portfolio and resource site of Warren Buckley

Hello all,
Well I haven’t blogged in since forever as I have been quite busy recently, but I suppose that's a good thing. So let’s have a quick catchup of what has been going on recently.

5th Birthday Umbraco Meetup

Well last month me and Adam Shallcross from The CogWorks help setup and organise the 5th Birthday party meetup event for the Open Source .NET CMS Umbraco which was a huge success.

Originally Gregory Roekens from Wunderman offered space at his offices to hold the event, but Adam, Gregory and myself soon realised that this event was very popular and space ran out in a day or two. So the event was moved from Wunderman’s offices to a boat on the Thames where we could hold twice the number of people.

In the runup to the event Gregory put Adam and me in touch with William Coleman from Microsoft UK who wanted to talk at the event and would able to help with some of the funding for it.
16th February came and we had a great day of talks, networking and drinks all for free, I won’t go into too much depth about the event as I have blogged about it on the umbraco.org blog

Hello all. Well I have just come back from sunny Copenhagen where I spoke at the Umbraco conference CodeGarden09. If you missed my session or wasn’t able to attend CodeGarden09 this blog post will give you an overview of the session.

I done a talk on integrating sIFR into Umbraco with Mark Wubben, who is the brains behind the sIFR project.

Hello all I thought I would do a screencast on the new ASP.NET masterpages integration in the upcoming version of Umbraco, a free .NET opensource CMS.

These videos come about when the great guys and girls from Xeed who I work for asked me to document Umbraco for internal documentation. Instead of doing the normal boring written documentation approach I thought I would try my hand at doing a screencast to cover the same information instead.

So Xeed has let me release these videos to the Umbraco community as well as they will be useful to people new to Umbraco V4. Xeed As based in Oslo, Norway where I work with along with core team member Kenneth Solberg has recently become a company who specialises in Umbraco solutions as we now have 4 umbraco certifications within the company which makes us an official Certified Solution Provider for Umbraco.

These four certified people are as follows:
Warren Buckley/Me - Level 1 Umbraco Developer
Ståle Engen - Level 1 Umbraco Developer
Kennth Solberg - Level 2 Umbraco Developer
Christian Melbye - Level 2 Umbraco Devleoper

So thanks again to the guys and girls over at Xeed to let me release these videos with you all and finally I have never done a screencast before, so please go easy on me with your feedback please ;)

Warren
