On the second day I attended Dave and Erik’s Share Customizations Live session where they demonstrated, through the use of site presets and extensibility modules, some concrete examples which showed them taking a vanilla Share and hacking away until it was barely recognisable.Expanding on the idea of developing your own projects, Gab Columbro’s talk on the long-awaited and brand-new Maven SDK was a highlight as much for the content as for Gab’s style, although you’ll want to do some background reading on Maven and how it differs from more traditional build tools before you use it for real.The public API live coding ( part 1, part 2) session by Peter, Gethin and Steve was a great opportunity to get to grips with Alfresco Cloud’s new public API, and like the hackathon it felt great to have some working code at the end, much aided by the sample project provided on the USB sticks.I didn’t get to see as many technical sessions as I have done in previous years, but the quality of those I did see really stood out. If you’re interested in any of those things, it’s a must see. I believe Nathan will be posting soon on what was produced in the session.Īs always John and John kicked off the main sessions with the high-level view of Alfresco, seamlessly mixing open source content management with tales from the wider IT industry and a satirical take on current global politics. This was about people coming together to work collectively on building something in a day, and the format worked fantastically well. Last week kicked off with a full-day hackathon building on top of Alfresco, facilitated by Nathan McMinn, which I would recommend to anyone who has worked with Alfresco before and is interested in expanding their horizons. So with last week’s DevCon event in Berlin over and the second event in San Jose about to kick off, I wanted to share a few of my highlights so far, in addition to what Jeff already posted.
