DESCRIPTION
In the last 6 years, we have grown with Cascade Server. We’d like to share some of the Cascade lessons learned, our best practices and some tools and tricks that we have picked up along the way. In this presentation we will cover: -A little of our Cascade history -Moving from targets to sites…why? -Controlling our template type with structured data definitions and index blocks -Building a permissions and workflow strategy -Implementing more than 100 Google analytical keys with 1 XHTML/Data Definition Block -Utilizing aliases and symbolic links for global assets (images, CSS and JavaScript) In this presentation, we’ll share our growth with Cascade and how we’ve learned to roll over old site designs into a new Khoi Pond V3 design without affecting users and existing content.TRANSCRIPT
