The Costain Annual Report 2011 went live this week showing the financial summary for the Costain group for the previous financial year. Bluegrass alongside the UK agency The College Group, developed for the third time the annual report for the group.
With over 40 successful Umbraco implementations under our belt and now with recently certified Umbraco developers on our team, we finally achieved the status of a Certified Umbraco CMS Parter including the new Umbraco v5.
Bluegrass Digital have been communicating with Umbraco for sometime to arrange Umbraco training and certification in South Africa. The time has arrived and Umbraco is officially expanding into Africa. Umbraco v5 Level 1 and Level 2 certification will be held at Bluegrass offices in early March.
The team at Umbraco HQ have been working flatout to bring us a version of Umbraco 5 (Beta) to download and play with just before the festive break! So far it looks exactly the same to us from the admin users point of view. The majority of the changes are behind the scenes, where it is now using technologies like MVC, LINQ, RAZOR to make the magic happen.
Umbraco 5 has entered BETA phase on 11 November 2011! This means it's 85% completed and that the Umbraco Team is getting closer to a feature complete V5. The Beta tag means that many of the exisiting features from Umbraco 4 are now available in Umbraco 5 Beta, but there still may be some V4 features missing - but don't worry as these will appear as the Beta phase moves closer to launch day! You can follow their progress here...
