Sitefinity News & Articles

Maybe it is because Telerik (news, site) is finding Europe too small, or because there just isn’t enough business in Europe with all the purse-tightening that is going on. Whatever the reason, the Bulgaria-based company has announced it is expanding operations in  Massachusetts and opening a new office in Texas.

In addition to the new offices, the company has also announced that it is launching a new marketplace for add-ons for its Sitefinity ASP.NET Web CMS.

Microsoft has just released the latest version of their Web Platform Installer and Web Application Gallery.

The beta for version 2 has been out since March, adding a community version of PHP and ASP.NET MVC 1 to an already full list of applications. New web applications that could be downloaded included Umbraco and Silverstripe Web CMS.

With today's release of the WPI, you will also get the Windows Azure SDK to get you started on those cloud-based applications and the IIS Media Pack.

Some of the latest additions to the Web Application Gallery include learning management system Moodle, Sitefinity web content management and Kentico Web CMS among many others.

If you were nervous about installing the beta version of WPI 2, you don't have to wait any longer. This is definitely an easy way to get your development environment up and running and a version of your favorite open source Web CMS to start developing your web applications.

Telerik (news, site) launched a new site to highlight the power, flexibility and compatibility of its ASP/.NET-based content management system.

The best advertising for any product is to see it in use, which is why Telerik's showcase site looks pretty slick and features a gallery of about 375 real-world examples of Sitefinity CMS in use.

This Web CMS offers Silverlight tools and controls, and .NET reporting and management, which gives it wide appeal.

Perhaps, Telerik chose now to show off as it is starting to face a lot of competition with the open source, .NET-based Umbraco CMS proving itself in the market and Kentico with its new release due any day now.

Packed with a Flash tour, demonstration admin interface and a long list of awards, there is plenty of self-congratulation but also a decent guide to the systems behind the site.

There are also separate pages for business users and IT developers highlighting how those groups could benefit from deploying Sitefinitiy.

The start of summer seems an odd choice to start doling out awards (isn't that usually January/February?) but it hasn't stopped asp.netPRO from counting the votes in its 2009 Readers' Choice awards. It was the winner of the Best CMS that made us stop and pay attention.

Umbraco is one of a few open source .NET web content management solutions on the market today, but it isn't the only one. DotNetNuke (news, site) is another popular open source solution for the Microsoft community and they have the stats to prove it.

In October of last year Sitefinity announced version 3.5 of the .NET built web content management solution. That new version was built for optimal performance among other new features and enhancements. With the increasing amount of content that needs be available to a global audience, performance issues are certainly a primary concern for organizations.

That is why Telerik has choosen to not only provide performance optimization within its content management system, but they have also announced the integration of Sitefinity with Amazon S3 for cloud-based storage.

Telerik has just rolled out the latest version of Sitefinity, their light weight ASP.NET web content management system.

In version 3.6 of Sitefinity CMS developers will see a new backend architecture and a new API for improved extensibility. On top of this there is a number of other cool enhancements that made us dizzy with excitement. According to the company, the goal of 3.6 is to "empower developers to tweak every aspect of the core system." We'd say they're getting close. Let's take a peek.
 

The finalists have been chosen for the Best of Tech•Ed 2008 Developer Awards presented by Penton Media’s Windows IT Pro® and SQL Server Magazine®.

One name that made list that we are all familiar with is Telerik’s Sitefinity CMS. It was named as one of four finalist for the Developer Tools category.

Telerik is a provider of developer tools and components for .Net. Their Sitefinity CMS product has been designed for the both the developer and the end user. According to Telerik CEO Vassil Terziew, they have worked hard to provide a product that includes a comprehensive development platform for developers, but is still easy to use.

Their hard work seems to have paid off. Still, they are up against some pretty stiff competition including the popular NetAdvantage Suite from .Net Infragistics, Intercept Studio’s AVIcode and JNBridgePro’s JNBridge.

Have a look at who else made the list from the 65 products and services submitted for the contest and stay tuned on June 6 for the big announcement of the winners.

Sheffield in England is famous for stainless steel and the movie “The Full Monty”, but you may not have heard of Fooshy. Fooshy? Right.

When I first heard, nay read, the word Fooshy, I swore that somebody must have made it up. But it’s there in the Urban Dictionary alright, and apparently means sleep, being similar to the sound of snoring. Believe it or not, Fooshy is a actually the moniker attached to a new Web CMS created by Illuminaries (now there’s a name I can live with), a software development company based in that city of steel, although Fooshy itself appears to be a separate company.

Telerik, a vendor of developer tools and components for .NET, has beefed up its Sitefinity CMS with version 3.2, adding a number of nifty new features to their website, intranet and community portal development platform.

Working to keep up with the blistering pace of the Web cms market, Telerik releases an update to their Sitefinity product, and lo, its brimming with usability improvements.

While PHP and Java have been increasingly labeled the tech platforms of choice for Web CMS solutions, .NET remains a favorite for many ISV’s. And even if the pairing of .NET and content management typically inspires thoughts to wander towards MOSS, a plethora of other options certainly exists for those looking.

One such candidate is Telerik’s Sitefinity Web CMS.
