Houston Sitecore User Group

We will be diving deep into SXA, we will have a live demo, and we will be creating an SXA web site. About our Speaker: Joel Rivera-Pintado Developer with 10+ years of experience, ranging from desktop applications, web applications, services and in the past 3 years with Sitecore in the insurance, advertising and healthcare fields in Puerto Rico and Texas.

In this talk, we will start by looking at the three primary approaches to a Sitecore build (MVC, JSS, and SXA), through the lens of organizational suitability. We will then take a deeper dive into SXA, to better understand how this approach affects not just technology but an organization’s entire process around their website. About the speaker: Andy Uzick has been working with the Sitecore platform for over 15 years, having developed the first large scale Sitecore site in North America as Sitecore’s first North American partner. He has been a Sitecore MVP since the award was started in 2008. As V.P. of Martech Innovation at Arke Systems, he advances technologies in and around the Sitecore ecosystem, and helps clients realize value from marketing technology through “disruptive consulting”.
