SPEAK about how this presentation is going to be.
A lot of practical implementation and demo
Please help me spot errors I make. None are intentional, so just shout out.
Raise of hands. Who knows what SPEAK has? Who has seen a presentation on SPEAK? Who has build something in SPEAK? Who knows what SPEAK stands for?
Experience? Exception?
Tell story about how I perceived SPEAK at first. I had always loved Sitecore for being a platform and that it did not provide out of the box functionality for the frontend. When I heard about SPEAK I thought that now the backend was also just a platform and that SPEAK implied that I should build everything my self now.
This is not the case. It is an ACCELERATOR FRAMEWORK. It makes it possible to fast and easy extend the Sitecore backend for your custom needs. It then look like native Sitecore.
You don’t need to code controls yourself and I am not sure I would do that. You need to know the controls and the extension points to those.
Best Sitecore documentation EVER.
If internet show them doc.sitecore.net
