The best way to start #codegarden day 2! And of course it’s the taking part not the winning that matters 😉

Here’s my Christmas present to those in the Venn diagram intersection of Umbracians and cryptic crossword fans … Niche perhaps, but give it a go! It links to a previous article that explains how to go about solving them! 24days.in/umbraco-cms/...

Name an Umbraco event that starts with the letters “Code”, and leaves folks feeling inspired, informed and enthused for doing more in our friendly community? The answer could be “Codegarden” or “Codecabin”! Read my comparison of the two dev.to/lottepitcher... (only a few days to apply for CC25!)

And thanks to @openvibe.social I only typed that message once! Wondering how cross platform mentions work? When you @ someone, the app will prompt for the right handle in each of the platforms you’re posting to. I was wondering how that would work. Pretty cool! #H5YR as we say in #umbraco land!

Did you know Clean Starter Kit is available as a NuGet Package and as a NuGet Template The NuGet package is the traditional way of installing it, it comes with the compiled code. The NuGet template is a more modern way of installing it. You get the whole solution with all of the source code,

🥑 In today's #Umbraco DevRel Deep Dive we look at Content Lock from the prolific community contributor @warrenbuckley.bsky.social. This package adds the ability to lock nodes and see who else is currently editing - so useful! 📽️ Make yourself a brew and have a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=12dH...

Excellent evening with #Umbraco folk in London! Exemplary hosting by This is Embrace 🙏. A thought (and discussion) proving talk from @jasonelkin.uk about null reference types. And a cool demo from @mttblss.uk showing how to automatically set sort order on nodes. Thanks to all involved and attended!

Thank you to @ldnug.org, @ndcconferences.com and Mads Torgersen for putting on such an interesting evening. What a privilege to hear from the lead designer of C# about what is being contemplated for the next release. And look, Mads does the teapot pose on stage like I (allegedly) do! 🫖

The wing de-icing process is cool 🥶🤖 The fact that it’s happening for the third time as we’ve been on the tarmac for 3 hours is not so cool 😑
