• Umbraco V5 Progress

  by Alex Norcliffe

  Umbraco 5 is going to become the Umbraco you know and love on the outside, with a leaner body on the inside. In this reasonably techie talk I'll go through some of the architecture choices, and I'm sure at one or two points there'll be Visual Studio and a browser up on screen to show everyone progress so far. It's early days so we'll be looking at the concepts in progress, but Umbraco 5 will be pluggable to the nth degree, so this talk will give a bit of insight into where things are headed and how we're going to get there. For anyone interested in how we maintain a global team I'll also give a quick insight into how we organise the project and explain about some of the upcoming milestones for the rest of 2010.
