Umbraco Open House - An Entry Point for Newcomers

Are you new to Umbraco? Are you Umbra-curious? If so, this casual workshop is for you!

We'll start by chatting a bit about what kinds of technical problems a content management system solves. You'll get a basic walkthrough of what Umbraco does as a content management system. You'll learn about creating content models and templates, and about using those models and templates to create and manage content on a basic website. We'll work through things together, and you'll leave the session with a foundational understanding of how to be productive in Umbraco’s Backoffice, as well as next steps for learning more or getting more engaged with the Umbraco community.

Prerequisites

• To make the most of this session, it's helpful for you to have the latest .NET SDK installed on your computer. We'll be using that to create and manage a local site to work from, and while there is no pressure to follow along during the session, this will help you hit the ground running when you're ready.
• While prior experience with C# and .NET is not strictly required for this session, it is very helpful to have a foundational understanding of how websites work, as well as basic knowledge of programming concepts like objects, properties, variables, templates, conditional statements, loops, etc.
• For sharing work and interacting on the Umbraco Forum, you'll also need a GitHub account.
