I'm a passionate web developer and systems architect. I work as an independent consultant specializing in EPiServer and search.
About web development with ASP.NET and EPiServer, fatherhood and other adventures in my digital jungle
I attended EPiServer’s Partner Summit today and held a presentation titled “More object oriented development with Page Type Builder” with which I tried to give an introduction to what Page Type Builder is and how it can makes our lives as developers a little bit more fun. You can find the slides from the presentation embedded below or view them on SlideShare.
I also had the honor to join in on Fredrik Karlsson’s presentation about EPiServer and ASP.NET MVC where I gave a short and ad-hoc introduction to the EPiMVC project. In that presentation I mentioned that I’m working on a template package. If you are interested in downloading that you should grab the latest source code for EPiMVC as I haven’t made a release that includes it yet. Do remember that it’s in a very early stage at the moment though.
I really enjoyed the first day of partner summit and it was really fun meeting old and new friends! Sadly I could only stay for the first day, but perhaps I’ll see some of you at NDC 2010 in a couple of weeks? :)
PS. For updates about new posts, sites I find useful and the occasional rant you can follow me on Twitter. You are also most welcome to subscribe to the RSS-feed.
This blog is built with EPiServer Community, EPiServer CMS, ASP.NET MVC and a bunch of other great products. The source code is available for download at the projects page, where you also can read more about this site and my other projects.

Excellent slideshow that serves as a good introduction to PageTypeBuilder. It's great to know that more developers will now hopefully start using it. Only problem is going back to none PTB development afterwards because once you've used it, it is very hard not to. A bit like losing Intellisense and coding with Notepad.
Keep up the great work - and please bring a few more articles out about the issues faced integrating PTB with existing projects. A decent design pattern for doing this would be a godsend. Any suggested links? Thanks!

Good suggestions Chris! I'll look into writing an article or two about that. One good source already though is Erik Nordins post: http://antecknat.se/blog/2009/11/02/creating-classes-for-pagetypebuilder-in-an-existing-project/
