Yesterday Jesper Ordrup (of forum and http://jesper.com fame) came by the office to discuss his session on CodeGarden. Luckily I had the video camera with me and even more lucky he was willing to do a ten minute interview.

His session will be about having a toolbar of multiple and very re-usable macros for mashing up forums, intranets, etc. very fast. Think of it as AutoForms on steroids. He literally showed me some fantastic ways of building umbraco solutions in a very short time - yet completely open for being heavily customized later on (for advanced security/permissions etc). Think of it as mashing up a prototype in an hour, but it isn't a prototype - it's a fully working intranet, but in the exact way you want.

You need to have Flash and javascript enabled to use this video tutorial

The video doesn't really show the whole potential as Jesper wasn't really sure how much he was allowed to show (it was a customer website - hence the black squares covering logos some times), but I can tell you that his one hour session alone will be worth the EUR250 CodeGarden fee.

    It would be awesome if CodeGarden had live online feeds. I would pay to watch that. Either that or start CodeGarden Australasia :)

    WOW inline editing thats uber cool! I also really liked the intro to the video "Who are you!!"

    Cant wait for cg08 got all my confirmation yesterday woohooo!!

  6. Hartvig Says:

    Yes, inline editing rocks. Maybe Jesper and Per Ploug could team up to use Per's cool base/ajax style inline editing with the autoform. That would rock.

    The "Who are you" is completely stolen from the legendary Robert Scoble vs. Bill Gates video:
