Dojo Course 2 has been released!
Dojo Course, Dojo Course 2The first Dojo Course was recorded and released in 2013 (not long after Lombiq Technologies was founded) and now we are happy to announce the arrival of Dojo Course 2! The course material has the same foundation (the Orchard Training Demo Module, which has also been upgraded in the past years), but it's updated for the (then) latest Orchard version (1.10.1) and the production quality is also improved. Just like the first generation, these videos were also recorded as part of a university course, but this time host was the University of Szeged, Faculty of Science and Informatics. Thanks for having us!

Live from Seattle - Orchard Harvest Day 2
Orchard Harvest, Harvest 2014, Orchard Harvest SeattleThe second day of Orchard Harvest is on! Our keynote speaker is Damien Edwards, Senior Program Manager in ASP.NET talking about how to use AngularJS in ASP.NET. He shares a lot of pieces of knowledge on how to build powerful single-page applications with a small amount of code. AngularJS is a client-side MVC framework with a ton of features that allow you to write input-heavy UI with highly reusable code, it's actually quite Orchard-y! On a sidenote, we at Lombiq also use AngularJS for most of our projects, including the ones we create for our clients and DotNest too!

Checking your infoset data consistency after upgrading from 1.x to 1.8+
Database, Advanced, Upgrade, InfoSet, Orchard 1.x, Orchard 1.8, QueryMany Orchard developers, including ourselves act as early adopters of the Orchard source and use the code from the 1.x and other work-in-progress branches. While it gives us the opportunity to try the new features and get the latest bugfixes, some changes introduce important bugs every now and then. That was the case lately on the 1.x branch, when a problem surfaced regarding the infoset storage: for shifted, versionable content parts the infoset data was not saved in the ContentItemVersionRecord table, but into the ContentItemRecord table instead. Sébastien discovered this issue before 1.8 release and provided a method to fix it, along with a well-detailed description on the Orchard discussion board.
