Reading Time: 5 minutes This is a continuation of a previous post that I wrote, entitled Front-end for the Middle: Focus and Design. Previously, we established that it’s better for a front-end developer to be focused on content, rather than design. In this post, we’re going to move into a discussion on how HTML semantics can influence what happens
Reading Time: 3 minutes A few months back I had the opportunity to present at the Tridion Developer Summit in Amsterdam. Gino Toro, (former) product manager for Media Manager was going to be speaking on Media Manager, so I decided to try a different topic. After debating on a few different topics, I settled on “CSS3 and HTML5 for
Reading Time: 6 minutes Ever looked at a component in Tridion and wondered, “what schema does that use?” I have. All the time.

Piti Itharat, Shawn Webber, and I have all been talking about some of the “gotchas” we’ve experienced in the front-end of XPM implementations. Especially after a few front-end folks started asking for tips on how to be XPM-minded when writing HTML and CSS,
Reading Time: 2 minutes Today was a rough day. I’ve got a new Tridion implementation that I’m working with, and I was feeling a little defeated by DD4T. It’s no beef on the framework, it’s just a lot to wrap my head around. So I decided to do something that I thought should be an easy win: Create a
Reading Time: < 1 minute We’re trying to make the DS4T project better. In order to make it better, we need to ask some questions. And what better way to do that than to create a survey for you. Please, take five minutes of your time, and answer this short survey.
