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 ;)

Following up from my post yesterday I posted a photo of what I thought was a messy desk.
I asked the people of twitter.
Snap a photo of your desk and send it to me, I'm interested to see where you all work
So here are some photos of desks that people sent me.
David Conlisk
I love the fact Dave has most of his computer doing some balancing act.
Morten Bock
A nice setup Morten has here, and gets extra points for having snapped my blog in the photo.
This is how my desk looks on a typical day, a complete mess.
I would be interested in what your desk looks like where you work.
Hello all I am currently looking into making my Creative Website Wizard package ready for V4 of Umbraco and with this I will move away from the OLD templating system to the NEW ASP.NET MasterPages support. With this I thought I would share with you all the new Syntax for the Umbraco functionality.

Hello all well I have finally found some time to write up my remaining days from my umbraco codegarden08 trip.
Day 4
Day 4 was the second day we used at the retreat house to do some more openspace meetings. The main topics of interest to me was how we could improve documentation for Umbraco and What can be done to improve the umbraco project.
After all the openspace meetings for the day had finished it was tidy up and the house and get ready to leave. Whilst we was all waiting for the repair guys to come out and take a look at the rental van that had been making some funny noises the day before, we had another kick about.
The "Hohler" was yet again on top form and taking on anyone that would stand his way!

With football finished and all us exhausted it was a perfect time to BOMB into the pool, to cool off!
Per going for the spectacular BOMB !

With all the work and fun had it was time for us to all pile into the vans and head back to Copenhagen ready for the main event on Tuesday!
