Create full website development using Umbraco CMS
Created by Anthony Shorrock | 16 hours on-demand video course
Umbraco is a Content Management System (CMS) and it’s great – mainly because it’s free! This makes it a great choice for your next website project. I’m not going to read you the manual or go through every button, “this does this”, “that does that”. I am going to walk you through the journey from an idea on a piece of paper to a fully functioning website delivered through Umbraco. I’ve done my best to do it in an engaging and friendly way that presents the fundamentals as we build the site!
We will create a website in Umbraco which exercises the following features:
- Document Types – these are the blueprints for creating pages of content
- Templates – the “razor” (ASP.NET MVC) html page templates
- The use of document types to hold data – site settings, email templates
- The Rich Text Editor – create your own custom formats in CSS
- The Umbraco “Grid” – a flexible page layout (it’s built on Bootstrap!)
- Macros – wrap up your views into widgets that can then be added to the “Grid”
- Dependency Injection – Umbraco 8 comes built in with a DI framework. Use it for referencing your own custom services
- Separate custom code out into a separate project
- Surface Controllers – just like ASP.NET MVC controllers but they play nice with Umbraco
- Form posting – create forms that post to surface controllers that have bespoke logic in them
What you’ll learn
- Installation of Umbraco – everyone does that though, right?
- See how, by leveraging Umbraco, you can build reusable websites and shave time off your projects
- How to organise your projects – Umbraco is always getting updates so you need to be ready
- How to create a website with login, registration and search functionality
- Use external APIs – query the Twitter API and render in a custom widget
