Many of us are back to work after the 2018 Tridion Developer Summit (TDS) held at The Eye Film Institute in Amsterdam that took place on September 6 and 7. Hosted by long-time "Tridionaut" Robert Curlette, the technical conference covered product vision to plans, technical sessions, a networking event, and the popular lightning talk sessions.

Earlier this year I explained my move into a new exciting role to kickstart the SDL Graphene design framework in SDL Tridion Sites.
So far, this work included a look at all the jobs an editor performs when managing content in the context of a managed website. We also considered ways to group up or map relevant stories in a way that delivers related functionality and value sooner.
Most recently my team worked on a "read-only…
Our Documentation team wants to hear from you for a survey on the usability and quality of the SDL Tridion Sites (formerly SDL Web) documentation.
The results will help with ongoing efforts to improve the SDL Tridion Sites documentation on docs.sdl.com, including the multiple supported on-premise releases and our cloud solution under the SDL Web heading.
Do you use our product documentation to perform your job, regardless…
If you're encountering performance issues with your Web Application, one of the first things you should be doing is finding the hot spots: what are the places in code where a lot of time is spent and why? Hopefully, you will uncover an inefficiency which can be optimized and optimizing a hot spot is likely to have a significant effect on the overall performance.
For this purpose, so-called profilers exist which can…
My colleagues are preparing various knowledge sharing sessions as we get ready for the Tridion Sites 9 release. These sessions are often called "boot camp" sessions, but might also be called workshops, delta training, or knowledge days.
I'm wary of advice such as "No Pain. No Gain." But in the case of software boot camps, what doesn't kill you can indeed make you stronger. Let me share my own experience with…
If you have a question about an error which you observed on a system, you will often be asked for a Stack Trace of the exception.
If you’re not used to analyzing those Stack Traces, they may look quite intimidating and you may wonder what other people are going to do with such intimidating long lists of information.
You may be surprised how useful a Stack Trace can be in “post-mortem analysis”. That is: in analyzing…
As you may know, SDL Tridion Sites Product Management is planning to “pick some low-hanging fruit” to be incorporated in the future SDL Tridion Sites 9.1 release.
So, the idea (pun intended [:)]) is that we look for popular ideas (measured by number of votes) which don’t seem to be very costly to implement. The first part makes it (tasty) fruit, the second part makes it low-hanging. Because the fruit hangs…
My last post described how we can divide a software component such as Experience Manager (XPM) by gathering "Jobs-to-be-Done" into various use cases.
This overview lets us then group the XPM Graphene implementation into features, or sets of work that can fit our program increments (a set of sprints aligned across feature teams).
At the start, I was tempted to organize and prioritize the XPM user stories by relationships…
If you haven't already, check out the invitation to give us feedback on the User Experience beyond Tridion Sites 9 part 1 and part 2.
We're now implementing some of those designs, starting with Experience Manager. For a feel of what this may eventually include, here's a rough diagram of the different use cases or "jobs" a content editor can perform in Experience Manager.
This is based on lists of functionality…
One of my favorite parts of the (newish) job since moving from Professional Services to Product Development in 2015 was being able to share actual product plans. You might have noticed a slight shift as we shared a bit more on SDL Web 8 and its follow-up releases, starting my first product overview post and the series, which included a few other bloggers. I've often said blogging is about giving yourself permission to…
I recently had a discussion with colleague Arijit Chowdhury on Best Practices surrounding classification in SDL Tridion Sites (Categories & Keywords in the Content Manager and Taxonomy, or the ability to retrieve classified content in Content Delivery).
Note that I've mentioned a few times that I'm wary of the term "best practices" since they could be wielded without context or followed blindly. Context and strategy…

Take Youtube as an example:
Youtube's total pageview is over 4 billion per day in 2012, and Youtube showing a video content with 410 total views. the Content Personalization score is 99.99%
How Content Personalization Score and Content Reuse Score are calculated in a localized country website?

We've started recording technical webinars about the Sites 9 release planned for mid-2018. See the first one on Unified Extensions by architect Likhan Siddiquee
In this week's webinar, I was able to introduce our work on integration services while , Connectors Solutions Architect, demonstrated the CRM and ECommerce scenarios along with an example connector.
Here are the follow-up questions asked by the participants…
