Having completed all of the underlying code for the backend of the site, first upgrading Umbraco and moving the database, before moving on to making the site’s custom functionality cross-platform compatible at the server side, attention moved now to the frontend of the site. When it comes to the site rendering, the differences between Umbraco
It’s time for the second part of the series taking a look at the recent upgrade of my TV Whirl site from Umbraco 10 to 13, as well as moving it all from Windows to Linux. In the first part I focused on getting the core database and Umbraco upgrade itself out of the way,
Regular readers may remember back in 2022 I moved my personal project site TV Whirl first from 7 to 9, then shortly follwed on to Umbraco 10 on .net 6.0, which was then the Long Term Support release of the CMS (though I technically didn’t stick truly to the LTS releases as I never upgraded
After many months of teasing us with release candidates, the final latest release of Microsoft’s .net 8 framework came out mid-November, marking the latest long-term-support release of .net core (for all we’re not supposed to include the ‘core’ moniker any more).

I already put a few brief notes on ‘the socials’ (to use that awful hackneyed term) earlier today, but now that I’ve had a bit more time to properly formalise my thoughts I thought I’d put together a slightly longer blog post on this. I’ve actually been going to developer meetups for over a decade,

Over time with the Umbraco 7 site getting more and more bogged down with increasing node counts and complexity, I
Ever since we got such an enticing overview of it at Umbraco Spark in Bristol back in early 2020, I’ve been keeping a keen eye on the progress of the .net core version of Umbraco. I originally played about with a fresh project on the first Alpha release when it dropped late last year just
Hello! Hello, is there anyone there? Yes, I have to admit I completely forgot all about this place. Indeed it was an impromptu discussion around blogging with a fellow dev whilst en route to Bristol on Thursday night that actually reminded me I even still have this blog. As the reason for the journey South
Some of you may remember a post a long time ago (okay, it’s only about 4 posts back so it’s not that hard to scroll back) where I extolled the virtues of Cloudflare. At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, as there are other solutions available, this is a bit of a followup to
With Christmas falling between it seems like forever since the last Dot Net North event, but on Tuesday this week it kicked off once more with a talk from Mike Irving entitled ‘Crossing the Windows Bridge for iOS’. I’d not read any spoilers on what to expect, so I won’t lie I went in with
