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…
In last week's post I introduced the new "Graphene" UI design language which we developed here at SDL's user experience design team and illustrated how it is currently being translated to SDL Tridion DX (Sites & Docs). I set the spotlight on the challenges of todays distributed digital marketing teams, typically running multiple agile content lifecycle projects in parallel, and how a new Graphene UI…
We, SDL's User Experience design team, have been busy designing a next generation UI design language for a new class of end to end product and service experiences. We started this journey with our web sites and several SaaS offerings around Trados Studio and the Language Cloud. Now we are in the process of translating it to SDL Tridion DX! We are really excited about this and would like to share our journey and ideas…
I'm working with Senior Technical Writer Julie Landman to introduce the Data Integration Service* to a future version of the SDL Tridion/Web overview diagram.
*The Data Integration Service (DIS) is the tentative name to a new microservice we're developing as part of the next SDL Web/Tridion release. Scope, details, and feature names subject to change.
SDL Tridion Overview (Draft Proposal)So far we've come up with…
Some of you might have already noticed it, but when you try to go to the domain http://sdltridionworld.com you are redirected to the Tridion Developers group on the SDL Community site. Those redirects are the last part in the migration of the SDL Tridion World website, which started a long time ago.
In July 2010, when I had just moved from Professional Services to become a Community Development Consultant as part of the…
