Start Date: 6/15/2020 2:00:00 AM End Date: 6/24/2020 2:00:00 AM We recently had the opportunity to provide a five-day intensive Orchard Core training for the team of In Motion. Due to the pandemic, this happened online of course. In Motion is an IT service provider focusing on the insurance, telco, banking, retail, and government sector. They've selected Orchard Core as the platform for their next big project and required some help to get their team going. We were happy to help! Building on the training guidelines of our open-source Orchard Dojo Library for Orchard Core we've compiled a customized training plan: During the first few sessions, we've covered the basic concepts of Orchard as well as its user-facing features with not just developers but also business analysts and domain experts from In Motion's team. Following that, we've gone through the basics of Orchard Core theme and module development, custom content development, and a variety of the most important Orchard APIs. During the course of the training, we frequently had discussions and explored questions of the attendees. What does Antonio Guzmán Buscemi, Manager of Product Development of In Motion say about the results of the training? We needed an in-depth study of Orchard so as to make the best possible development decisions early on. We were concerned about how long the learning process would take, but thanks to Lombiq this was an easy and rapid process. Lombiq has deep knowledge of Orchard and an excellent training program. Do you have a team that you want to quickstart with Orchard Core? Book a training with us!

Start Date: 6/20/2020 4:00:00 PM End Date: 6/27/2020 10:00:00 PM We always do some presentations at the Orchard Harvest conferences, but 2020 was different. Because of the pandemic, the community cannot organize Harvest, but we don't want to skip the presentations. Thus let us introduce the Orchard Core Workshops! The goal here is for the contributors of Orchard Core to hold some unique online workshops between May and September 2020. So even with Orchard Harvest postponed we'll get some new learning events. Lombiq's developers also gave two workshops, on using the admin Ul of Orchard Core and module development. On June 20, we did a workshop about how to use the admin UI of Orchard Core. On that day, we created custom content types, a custom widget, and placed that widget in a layer that has a custom layer role. We saw how we can enable/disable modules and themes, and created workflow types to send the content of a contact form to site owners. For that, we used the Forms module of Orchard Core. Finally, we saw how to use the OpenID server of the CMS and how to authenticate users using JWT tokens to use the content APIs of Orchard Core. We started with an overview of the Orchard Core source code on June 27. After that, we used data migrations to create custom content types and fields. We used Razor to display the different templates of the custom content to the users. We saw the JSON schema of the content types and the way Orchard Core is storing the data in the document DB. We also created a new index table and by using that table we wrote queries to return the data from the DB. What do the attendees say about the results of the training? Thank you for the great information, clear explanations, and openness to answer any questions asked. The workshop was very useful and I'm sure I'll save a lot of time thanks to it. Thank you very much. Excellent workshop content, teaching delivery and demo examples! This workshop will truly help people jumpstart their Orchard Core skills.

Start Date: 8/25/2015 2:00:00 AM End Date: 10/13/2015 2:00:00 AM We at Lombiq recently had the chance to train a Microsoft team. This was our experience: Microsoft is not a company that needs introduction - but one that needed Orchard training. More specifically the Microsoft Cloud and Infrastructure Operations (MCIO) team (who supply the infrastructure for all Microsoft divisions, including Windows, Bing or even Azure) reached out to us: before starting a big Orchard project they wanted to have some expert help. After a few days of what was an online intensive training the MCIO team is now familiar with Orchard's built in features and everything a beginner Orchard developer needs to know. The only problem is that we won't see what they are building - because it will be an internal portal, just for Microsoft employee eye

Start Date: 7/1/2014 5:48:00 PM End Date: Orchard simplifies the process of setting up a new website by letting you use website recipes. A recipe is an XML file that contains the startup configuration for an Orchard website. When you start Orchard for the first time, you can select a recipe that best matches the type of site you want to set up. For example, if you want your website to be a blog, you can select the Blog recipe, and much of the configuration work will be done for you. You can create your own recipes and customize the process of setting a website and configuring Orchard features. Recipes can also instruct Orchard to download and install modules and themes from the Orchard Gallery during website setup. This course describes How to use recipes How to create custom recipes Export or Import Recipes and How to create a new website using a Custom Recipe.

Start Date: 9/18/2013 12:00:00 PM End Date: 12/20/2013 12:00:00 PM After the first-ever Orchard university course we aimed for repeating the course while also massively expanding its audience by giving the tutorials in English. Óbuda University was our host this time too. Students enrolled to the course as usual but this wasn't just an ordinary course: using the same tutorials (from videos captured in classes), extensive supportive materials and notes we also ran an online course in parallel, Dojo Course. The course started with introducing Orchard's user interface and built-in features. Following were topics about theme development and module development, covering the most important pieces of knowledge an Orchard developer should know. For the last tutorial we've taken requests from on-site participants and online viewers. Dojo Course was the first free and open Orchard online course, available to anybody. With about 8000 views until the end of the course we got to train more people on Orchard development than it would be ever possible through a non-online course. The resulting playlist of videos is the most comprehensive Orchard tutorial set to day.

Start Date: 10/29/2012 5:00:00 PM End Date: 12/10/2012 6:00:00 PM In the fall of 2012 we held a free, open introductory course at the John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics of Óbuda University in Budapest, Hungary after an inital introductory session. On the weekly lessons the 24 attendees were guided through the concepts and admin UI of Orchard as well as got to know the basics of theme development. The lessons were also recorded (in Hungarian).

Start Date: 1/23/2013 9:00:00 AM End Date: 1/29/2013 5:00:00 PM We were contacted by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, which is a governmental organisation in the United Kingdom, that they would like to migrate both their intranet and internet applications to Orchard - a process they already started to execute. NICE has an experienced team of software developers at the Manchester HQ for whom they sought training solutions in Orchard: that's where we came into picture. Since we already had a set of training methods outlined (and some experience gained at our university) besides our Training Demo module we happily accepted their request and started working on the refinement and customization of the training materials. The training came in the end of January, 2013. It was a great experience: not to mention that we discovered some new things about Orchard (and a few bugs) we worked with great people (about 10 attendees) who also got to know the great things about Orchard development (and its heavier sides). The five days of training was divided into four sections: 1.5 days of user training to discover the Admin UI of a fresh Orchard instance 2 days of developer training covering the basics of Orchard module and theme development 0.5 day hackathon: divided into two groups we worked on actual problems that needed to be solved for NICE 1 day pair programming: while working on their current tasks, we worked together with each of the participants for a while to help them advancing in their work We could conclude that last two sections were the most exciting and profitable (we had to build up the basic knowledge before those, of course), since "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" to quote a Hungarian proverb. We will implement these experiences in our training methods to make the upcoming ones better and more efficient. Some feedback participants were kind enough to provide: Carolyn Warburton: Excellent training in Orchard CMS which will benefit our team at NICE going forwards. The highly skilled trainers delivered a well thought through training package customised for our needs and which will enable us to hit the ground running with our Orchard CMS project. Boris Karaberberov: The training helped us understand some of the more subtle and complex aspects of Orchard. In addition it gave us ideas how to improve existing code and solve a few long-standing problems.
