Imposter Syndrome

What is Imposter Syndrome?

Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts his or her accomplishments and has a persistent internalised fear of being exposed as a “fraud”

• Started a blog to share my code.
  • Only posted 1 code example the rest have been Umbraco community posts.

I want to submit more Pull Requests to Umbraco CMS, but don’t.

• I don’t talk ‘code’ to other developers
• I don’t do ‘technical’ talks….. until today!

Imposter Syndrome is not just for developers!

Where to start?

• Don’t panic!
• Ask questions
  • Our
  • Slack
  • Twitter
• Remember, you might be a trailblazer! #CG19

Umbraco Cloud

Why Umbraco Cloud?

• Easier upgrades
• Content/code flow
• “Release Confidence” (™)

Umbraco Cloud Setup Using Visual Studio and a PC

It’s simples…. Only if you know how!

1. Setup your cloud environments
2. Download & run UaaS.cmd
3. Project now setup
4. Code your site
5. Deploy your site

Top Tips

• Check the prerequisites before you start
  • Visual Studio 2017 v15.9.6 or later
  • Git and/or Git Credential Manager for Windows
• Get your head around your Git Repos
  • Hint, you’ll be using 2!
• Use the recommended method by Umbraco HQ
  • UaaS.cmd

Setup your cloud environments

• Live
• Development & Live
• Development, Staging & Live

Each additional environment is €20 per month (starter plan)

• Add team members so they can restore doctypes and database information

Each additional team member added costs €5 per month (starter plan)

Setting up Git Repos Setup, Delete, Setup, Delete, Setup, Delete, Setup It works! Oh wait, no it doesn’t! Setup, Delete… It works!

Umbraco Cloud Setup Using a Mac

ProjectName ├── ProjectName.Core ├── ProjectName.Frontend └── ProjectName.Web

ProjectName/ ├── ProjectName.Core ├── ProjectName.Frontend │   ├── (build) │   ├── src │   └── DEPLOY.sh └── ProjectName.Web

UaaS CLI Connects to the Cloud project and borrows its rendering engine Watches CSS, JS & Views for changes

Stuff to look out for

• Schema mismatch
• User account error
• Deploy issues

Check out the Umbraco Cloud documentation

Just remember If you are working locally….

• Git - Pull / Push
  • Make sure you have the latest changes from your cloud account
• Back Office
  • Restore

(Video showing how to Restore from within the backoffice)

Hurdles with Umbraco Cloud

• Not designed as an open source environment
  • Would be nice to have Pull Request functionality
• Each developer needs added to the project
  • This allows them to get latest content
• API keys need to be shared with everyone
  • Maybe a Umbraco Cloud setting?

Limitations on Umbraco Cloud

• IDN domains
  • Not possible with Umbraco Latch
• There’s an upper limit on hostnames
  • 15 through the UI - Support can add more

Thank you the SWAT team!
