Creative Web Specialist - An online portfolio and resource site of Warren Buckley

Hello all I thought I would do a screencast on the new ASP.NET masterpages integration in the upcoming version of Umbraco, a free .NET opensource CMS.

These videos come about when the great guys and girls from Xeed who I work for asked me to document Umbraco for internal documentation. Instead of doing the normal boring written documentation approach I thought I would try my hand at doing a screencast to cover the same information instead.

So Xeed has let me release these videos to the Umbraco community as well as they will be useful to people new to Umbraco V4. Xeed As based in Oslo, Norway where I work with along with core team member Kenneth Solberg has recently become a company who specialises in Umbraco solutions as we now have 4 umbraco certifications within the company which makes us an official Certified Solution Provider for Umbraco.

These four certified people are as follows:
Warren Buckley/Me - Level 1 Umbraco Developer
Ståle Engen - Level 1 Umbraco Developer
Kennth Solberg - Level 2 Umbraco Developer
Christian Melbye - Level 2 Umbraco Devleoper

So thanks again to the guys and girls over at Xeed to let me release these videos with you all and finally I have never done a screencast before, so please go easy on me with your feedback please ;)

Hello all I am currently looking into making my Creative Website Wizard package ready for V4 of Umbraco and with this I will move away from the OLD templating system to the NEW ASP.NET MasterPages support. With this I thought I would share with you all the new Syntax for the Umbraco functionality.
