Webinar - Hands on to "Sitecore 10 Content Serialization (SCS)"

Hi Team,

At Horizontal Digital , we as a team decided to create set of webinars and online sessions for developers to help learn new concepts of "Sitecore 10" offerings.

As a part of that, different team mates started preparing for Sitecore 10 new features so those information can provided to the team and they can all push and learn SC10 in much better way and those topics can help them in their certifications too

As a part of those different webinars, I took the topic on "Sitecore Content Serialization (SCS)"

In SC10 certification one (out of many) competency is "Content serialization", We all have been working in TDS, Unicorn tools to serialize the content and use it to share, deploy sitecore content, but with SC10 there is a new way of serializing content.

Basically there are two ways which we can use SCS

1) Sitecore CLI : Is a dotnet core based command line interface, we can install nuget modules on top of this for SCS and we can start using Pull and push commands to serialize items back and forth to/from Sitecore, No license is required

2) Sitecore for VS (SVS) : A developer can download Sitecore for VS Module VSIX package and install it in their VS studio, Existing TDS License will work otherwise one will need to purchase TDS license.

I will not write all the details of what are the perquisite to get started and what all GOTCHAs as i already have the below recording where i have shown complete DEMO and hands on of SCS

Session can be found on following video

Hope you get your hands dirty with above demo and get started with SCS...

Why SitecoreAI - Getting into the shoes of the customer how to select right CMS

Hi Team, Lately, I have been talking to lot of our customers / potential customers and having pre-sales demos where one question always comes is "Why Sitecore" ? Now this question can be for any product which is out for sell. And as a technician I always get into product technical features, but at the same time as a pre-sales guy, it also makes me think, surely all competitive products have same features, so definitely answer to this is not in the technicalities. If you step back and think, we are also a customer in our daily life and buy lot of things, what is that process we go through? When we buy, how can your customer decide if this is a right fit for you or not, why we select A over B? Is it price? is it service? Is it a brand? Is it about features? Is it about brand loyalty? When it is a technical product, I am sure it cannot start with the technicalities of the product or selecting product itself, 100% not, I feel decision is always business strategy first and ...

Zero to Hero - A real life RCA of exact issue in Sitecore Managed Cloud environment

Hello All, The purpose of today's post is to share a real life burning and escalated scenario which was new to me and how did I approach it and how big the escalations were and what was the outcome Sitecore's goodwill was at stack not because Sitecore is not capable of handling it but just because our environment was Sitecore Managed Cloud, and any issue that comes if its infra, back end code, front end code will be first pointed as Sitecore issue and that is where our consultancy and experience will play a role to prove that it is not Sitecore issue. Issue we faced Out of the blue our site started giving "504 Gateway Time-out", and it was reported that almost everyone is getting this error, but when we used to browse the site, everything looked good and never 504. 504 Gateway Time-out error tells that, That the request went to Content Delivery servers of Sitecore from gateway, but gateway did not get response in time from those CDs and hence it gave time out error. ...
