umBristol Talks - April 2024

Hey folks,

We've got another fantastic lineup of talks for you in April, hosted by the Wattle team at HERE Bristol. Refreshments will be provided for the evening.

The talks for the evening will be:

• "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) Richard decided to spend part of his time at Umbraco Spark’s Hackathon looking into writing the docs. That idea has escalated somewhat and has been a genuinely fascinating experience, which Richard would like to share with you all.
• "Block to Basics" by Callum Whyte
  Callum explores his approach to building block list & grid based layouts for large sites, with some key principles to follow for a great editor experience, plus some interesting hacks and extensions to make the developer experience awesome.

Agenda:

• 6:00 PM - Welcome and social
• 6:30 PM - Intro and short news recap
• 6:40 PM - Talks commence (~25min each)
• 8:00 PM - Closing talk and socialising

Hope to see you there!
