Agenda
18:30 - Doors open, social + networking (Pizza and drinks! 🍕)
18:00 - Talk 1 - "DocTales: Collaborative documentation for Umbraco and Astro JS" by Richard Jackson- Astro JS has been a hot topic at recent Umbraco events, yet the official Astro documentation has yet to include a specific guide for Umbraco usage. Seeing a gap in the market (there’s literally a space on the Astro docs just WAITING to have a guide added) I decided to spend part of my time at Umbraco Spark’s Hackathon looking into writing the docs. That idea has escalated somewhat and has been a genuinely fascinating experience which I would like to share with you all.
- This talk will also give demonstrations of tools such as the Content Delivery API, the Delivery Api Extensions package and the OpenAPI CLI generator, alongside discussions around documentation practices, collaboration, and the inevitable presence of Typescript.
- This talk owes a huge debt to the blogs and efforts of Louis Richardson, Rick Butterfield, Laura Neto, Kenn Jacobsen and Adam Prendergast.
- The docs themselves can be found here: https://github.com/jacksorjacksor/astrojs-with-umbraco-cms-docs
19:30 - Talk 2 - "Media as Content: How (and why!) we made Media nodes act like Content nodes" by Rob Shaw
