- "Bake, Don't Fry - Astro & The Content Delivery API"
by Adam Prendergast
Are you ready to revolutionise your Umbraco development with the power of static sites?
The Content Delivery API has opened a world of possibilities for headless applications, including allowing us to embrace swift, scalable pre-rendered sites.
In this session, we'll dive into the concept of 'Bake, Don't Fry' and the world of static site generation, spotlighting Astro as a leading framework.
We'll explore how to go from a basic Astro setup to introducing the Content Delivery API for a CMS-powered static site. We'll look at improving the developer workflow with TypeScript, streamlining the publishing process, and showcasing cost-efficient hosting solutions.
I'll guide you through Astro code examples and show how you can enhance the development process, leaving you equipped to make informed decisions about integrating this innovative strategy into your projects.

By Carl Sargunar
What's the easiest way of expanding your reach with your audience, especially if you already have a website? A smartphone app!
Umbraco CMS, which now has multi-platform friendly features like the Content Delivery API, and support for webhooks make it easier for you to easily and simply add new content channels to your website. In this talk I'll go through how you can easily build and extend cross-platform mobile apps with .NET MAUI, the Multi-platform App User Interface, Microsoft's latest framework for mobile development.
I'll cover how to use the content delivery API and webhooks to handle communication between your CMS and the mobile app, both pulling content via the API, and pushing via webhooks.
There will be demos, there will be a public demo repository on github where you can see the code from this talk and there will be a general feel of Awesomeness and inspiration!
