Top 10 Kentico Related Posts of 2015
Introduction
Another year has rolled by, and with it comes the chance to reflect on what has happened in the Kentico community and my own blog here at Mcbeev.com.
2015 started out with a bang, with the release of Kentico 8.2 in early January. 8.2 turned out to be one of the best releases of the year. All of our projects at BizStream quickly upgraded to this new version because of the increased performance and stability. I think everyone would agree that 8.2 rocked.
The year continued with all sorts of new activity for Kentico enthusiasts. The Kentico Developer Roadshow ran through 4 cities. We added a few new Kentico MVPs to the mix. Kentico DevNet itself saw a lot of new and interesting updates. And of course the Kentico Connection conference in Melbourne, Orlando, Brno once again proved it is the premiere Kentico event of the year.
Finally 2015's biggest news is that Kentico 9.0 was released this past November. Kentico 9 allows for faster website development through CI, Modulularity improvements, and optimized auto scaling in the cloud. It also gives marketers a way to optimize campaigns for more insight into their results, and has better support for semantic content editing.
2015 was an exciting year for sure. Now on to my best of lists for Kentico Related Posts.
