Technical overview - Basics
Developer Focused Embracing XSLT Master pages
Fully Extensible .NET User/Custom Controls Events API Webservices
Technical overview - Developers
API allows for easy extension While maintaining ability to upgrade to new
versions Excellent existing CMS functionality
Allows developers to focus completely on writing real code
Developers spend very little time on setting up the framework and more time on doing what they love: writing software
Technical overview – Frontend
Complete control over HTML output Develop master pages, CSS, Javascript & XSLT
from within Visual Studio SEO Friendly
Adjust document types to add missing fields Easy XSLT examples available to get a flying
start (navigation, breadcrumbs, news lists, sitemap, etc.)
Technical overview – Develop / deploy
Development environment IIS & SQL 2005 or 2008 VS2008 & .NET 2.0 or 3.5 / TFS
Deployment Copy files Export and import document types Content migration, manually or via Courier
Future
Umbraco 4.1 will be native .NET 3.5 (late 2009) Image cropper built in Spellchecker Content tree reworked, completely in jQuery
Umbraco 5 will be a rewrite using ASP.NET MVC (late 2010) Full development support by Microsoft
Umbraco 4.1 will be stable and supported post release of Umbraco 5
Alternatives
SiteCore Good product but expensive Lots of functionality, might be overkill
N2 & MojoPortal Backoffice does not look good, not user friendly Have to write code for almost anything you want
to do DotNetNuke
Out dated & frontend work is very complicated, takes up a lot of developer time
