Ok! Here it is, the final instalment of our ‘Up close and personal’ questions and answers

Jupiter) in the last month and I’m finally taking some time to
write a blog post or two about Jupiter and some of it’s new
features, more specifically Plugins. There’s a lot
of stuff to wri…

As I mentioned from my last blog post, I’m going to blog more
regularly about any news we have about CodeGarden here at the
Umbraco HQ, so here’s the next installment!

Before I carry on, if you are reading this and thinking “what is
CodeGarden?” Wel…

For much too long have the wonderful HQ people of Paul Sterling
in the US and  Peter Gregory in Australia felt isolated and
alone. As a company who cares deeply about CSR, HR and other crappy
acronyms used by enterprises who’ve grown so big that…

inspired by Microsofts…

Years ago Per and I did some regular

Introduction

The new razor support for umbraco is great, though the initial
release bundled with 4.6.1 was really just a preview.  We’ve
