There's been a ton of great progress made on Umbraco v5 (aka
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 write about regarding Plugins and I realized that the
only way it was going to be possible was to put together a series
of blog posts. If you are attending Code Garden this
year, I will be doing a session on Plugins in Umbraco Jupiter and urge you to
read this series as it becomes available so you can have a bit of a
head start.
The first part of the series is an introduction to Plugins, what
they are and what types there are. Future posts will go into detail
on how they are made, installed & loaded into Umbraco. If you
are like me and can't wait to jump into some code, we actually have
a public Umbraco Jupiter Wiki site running that contains
much of the technical details of v5. Keep in mind that this wiki is
a work in progress and we will be constantly updating it as the
codebase progresses.
Here's the first part in the series of Umbraco
Jupiter Plugins.
Enjoy!
