Introduction
It's almost two years now since I wrote a quite large series of blog posts about the then very new umbraco Backoffice.
The early adopters' guide to the Umbraco Backoffice was really just a way for me to write down my thoughts and discoveries as I started the process of moving our packages to the brave new world.
As it turned out quite a few people found those posts useful, and they are still being referenced by people today (the Umbraco.AI Skills even use them), but you can learn a lot in two years and Umbraco has gone from v14 to v17, and there has been loads of refinements and tweaks. as such the early adopters guide series are good, but they could be a lot better.
So - now that we've come out of the other side of two years of upgrading and developing packages for the "new" Umbraco back office, I thought it was time to dust off the code and re-visit the guides.
So today, we are starting the "Battle scarred developer's guide to Umbraco v17" - this is a series of blog posts aimed at package and extension developers - giving them a leg up for a quick start, and tips and tricks on how to do things 'right'
It's also worth noting the Umbraco documentation has also improved greatly since we did the first round of posts - so you should check out https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/customizing/overview it may already tell you what you need to know.
All of the code referenced in these blogs is available via GitHub:
