Umbraco Newcastle Meetup

Join us for the very first Umbraco Newcastle!

Our first event will be hosted by Shout Digital at their newly refurbished HQ. Join us to meet peers from the North East Umbraco development community for informal presentations and a chance to chat and network.

Rick Butterfield – Decarbonising the planet, one Umbraco upgrade at a time

The internet emits a truly enormous amount of CO2. Indeed, it’s estimated that across the world, the collective carbon consumption of the internet is equivalent to that of the entire airline industry (Source: ClimateCare) - that’s around 3.7% of all global emissions (Source: BBC).
On the release of .NET 5, Microsoft announced it would be up to 50% faster than the previous version. As such, when Umbraco released version 9 it was expected that this version was between 1.5x and 2x more performant than Umbraco v8.
For organizations, this meant upgrading their site from v8 to v9 had the potential to halve their hosting costs.
From these metrics we hypothesized that upgrading to v9 could lower the overall carbon emissions of a website.
In this talk you'll hear about the journey we took with our client and whether our hypothesis was true or not.

Bjarke Berg – New Backoffice for Umbraco 13

In this session, I'll show you the latest features of the new back office experience, scheduled for release with Umbraco 13.
I will cover some of the implementation details and show how Umbraco itself uses the same extension API for the core functionality as external developers use to create extensions.
I will cover the new Management API from the server and some of the important things to have in mind, when preparing upgrades to Umbraco 13.
