How to develop with the new ASP.NET Core rendering SDK – Nick Wesselman (PM, Developer Experience, Sitecore) & Oleg Jytnik (Technical Lead, Sitecore)

One of the best new Developer Experience features in Sitecore 10 is the new ASP.NET Rendering SDK for netcore. This SDK enables the creation of independently running ASP.NET Core applications, which use the Layout Service to consume content headlessly from your Sitecore instance. This session will show you how to get started with this new SDK and dive into its features, which include routing, field rendering, placeholder rendering, localization, Experience Editor support, and Tracking support.

I’ve made a couple of video’s on the above topics as well, check them out:

Follow a customer journey, where you can manage the content flow from our Content Hub product suite and publish it to any channel. We will use Content Hub to create our content, define our audiences and deliver on the web channel using the Sitecore Habitat Home site.

And that’s it for Day 2.
