Umbraco Together - How to Save Thousands on Custom Umbraco Integrations Using Konstrukt
Lets face it, we all love Umbraco due to how flexible yet easy it is to configure. Quickly being able to build out different page types, using a huge library of different property editors to give a truly tailored experience for our editors.
But what do you do when your customer asks to be able to manage something that isn't content? Suddenly that safety net of docs types and property editors disappears and you are looking at weeks of development costs and days of training / poking through the Umbraco source, figuring out how to create sections, trees, editors and persistence layers. And even then, the end result doesn't quite feel the same.
In this session I'll show you how you can reduce weeks of development down to days, if not hours, by using Konstrukt, the rapid admin user interface builder for Umbraco. We'll see how with a few lines of developer friendly configuration, we can quickly build easy to use, feature rich and seamless integrations for a variety of different use cases.
