I like being a dad, leading ProWorks Corporation, working with Umbraco CMS, playing board games, watching sports, running, learning guitar, and a bunch of other stuff.

My colleague, Janae, shares a thoughtful look at what healthy, sustainable work can (and should) look like for technical and creative teams.

It's a great read, especially as this year comes to a close.

Ever wondered what #Umbraco training is really like?

Izabel blogged about her journey to Expert Certification and wrote about back-office extensions to MVC patterns, integrations, and security. It's hands-on & practical training.

When I first signed up for Umbraco training, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would it just be a run-through of documentation? A series of demos I’d forget a week later?
