We're back in Brisbane for another round of Umbraco goodness - this time, we're exploring creating custom extensions for the Umbraco BackOffice with uUI in Umbraco 16, as we start preparing for the upcoming release of the next Long Term Release - Umbraco 17 in the new year.

Rob will be digging into the anatomy of a custom backoffice library, the new management API, and how it all fits together from start to finish.

👏 Special thanks to our Sponsor Zero Seven - host for this month.
