All you guys, readers, know, I’m totally devoted to Sitecore. Although you also know, that in some circumstances, you can’t use a product like Sitecore.  It’s to expensive, or just to big… or? For those moments it’s important to find some, cheaper or free, alternatives, which can be compared against Sitecore. Why comparing them? You [...]

Yeah, we got certified. I say we, as it wasn’t just me. Ben, Martijn and Max, my direct colleagues, also became Sitecore Level 1 Developers! So that means: mission accomplished.
And no, the last test wasn’t so easy as expected. From the 40 question, I definitelly doubt about 10 of them. I guess level 2 will [...]

The Netherlands
International/American Search
Denmark

Yes it is time… again. After lots of changes it’s time to re-review 5.3. I did actually start reviewing but had to decide to stop.
