What we’re about
The Bristol Umbraco User Group - umbristol.co.uk
The aim of the user-group is to meet on a monthly basis, with a 2-monthly rotation: one month being an informal social gathering at a pub; the following month an office-based session/talk meet-up hosted by a local Umbraco partner/business.
The user-group was established in January 2010. A typical social meet-up is attended by 15+ people, where as the session/talks meet-ups attract larger attendees (25+ people).
If you are interested in giving a talk at one of our meet-ups, please get in touch with us here or our Twitter account: https://twitter.com/umBristol

"Build Your Own Developer Blog with Umbraco 15 & Astro"
Richard Jackson and Adam Prendergast
Join Umbraco MVPs Richard Jackson and Adam Prendergast for a hands-on workshop where you’ll create a fully functional developer blog using Umbraco 15’s Content Delivery API and the popular static site generator, Astro.We’ll be using the Delivery API Extensions package for generating strongly typed classes and mapping those classes to Typescript with OpenAPI TypeScript. We’ll also be using the Contentment's code editor along with PrismJS to provide code snippet highlighting. We’ll then be looking to generate and deploy our site onto hosting platforms such as Vercel automatically through Umbraco’s native webhook integrations. As a little bonus, we can add RSS support and request to be added to the Umbraco Community Blogs list!
Whether you’re a solo developer or part of a larger team, this workshop will give you practical, real-world experience in building and deploying a modern developer blog - leaving you with a live site and all the know-how to keep it growing.

Carl Sargunar
In today’s world of high-volume freight shipping and global trade, shipping containers have revolutionised logistics, enabling the rapid movement of goods across vast distances, driving globalisation and economic growth on an unprecedented scale.In our online world, containers have been equally transformative, reshaping how apps and services are developed, deployed, monitored, and integrated with other services. Since transitioning to modern .NET, Umbraco has been able to be hosted on Linux based containers, and in this talk, I’ll explore the specifics of hosting Umbraco websites on containers using Azure Container apps, and pushing containers to Azure Container Registry, and looking at the latest developer tools including .NET Aspire to make your development journey easier.
As the industry moves steadily toward container-based hosting, knowledge and experience in this becomes increasingly important, unlocking benefits like consistency across environments, reduced resource usage, configurable scalability and greater efficiency and sustainability. Plus, containers are really cool
