Welcome to my blog



Now introducing a blog about Dynamicweb development. About time some might say.


Welcome

So welcome to my blog - and thanks for reading! I've been thinking about starting this blog for years now, and now I finally started it. I have a long list of things to say - and I'm looking forward to talk to all of you reading it and getting your feedback. I "talk" to a lot of you on the forums, Twitter, by mail and meetings - mostly on specific things and issues. This blog is going to be about future things in Dynamicweb.

Dynamicweb Ahead

Thats the blogs name - on nicolaipedersen.com. Because its written by me about what is going to happen with Dynamicweb ahead - in future releases.

What is this blog about?

This blog is going to be about things going on in Development of Dynamicweb - so features, technology, implementations, ideas and stuff like that - a "Product Blog". I hope that you will respond and give feedback on things I throw out here.

In the beginning this is going to be a lot of things on Dynamicweb 8. The upcoming release is the release from us with most changes since 2005 where Dynamicweb.NET was introduced and 2009 where Dynamicweb 7 was introduced. It is a version with lots of API refactoring having some impact on custom solutions in particular. It is also a release where a lot of things and code are deprecated and removed and we update technology, like moving to .NET 4, 64bit etc.

Dynamicweb 8 will look and feel a lot like Dynamicweb 7, but under the hood we have lots of changes. Look forward to some of these things:

  • Re-factored, cleaned, and easier to use documented API
  • .NET 4, 64bit, clustering, new Visual Studio templates
  • Lots of performance improvements - templates system, eCommerce internals etc.
  • A brand new file manager with lots of new features and improved usability
  • 100+ UI updates (News, Newsletter (v3), Survey, Forms etc.)
  • A new Online Marketing Center to replace statistics and add a ton of new exiting things. With reporting, lead management, split testing, profiling and other cool stuff.
  • A new import/export engine. Extremely more fast than the current (does not say a lot, I know - but it is fast). Lots of new features, and hopefully way easier to operate and understand.
  • Lots of other things.
On this blog I'll be talking about these things. Please spend 2 minutes giving me feedback as I blog and get your ideas and feedback into the product...

Who am I?

For those who do not know me, my name is Nicolai Høeg Pedersen and I'm a co-founder of Dynamicweb (Founded with Christian Beer). My daily tasks are in the product development where I say crazy things that other have to do and also take part of the development myself. I'm the one who did the Designs & Layout engine, Language Management and all the things with SEO and URLs. But usually i do not code that much, but have done it for many, many years now.

Best regards, Nicolai.
