How much self-determination do editors need? We have developers on one side and editors on another, but is there room for another model of development, or another "level" of developer?
In this session, Deane Barker will discuss the idea of editorial scripting in general, explain use cases for when it might be valuable. Lennard Fonteijn will then demonstrate a prototype of this engine running in Umbraco, and show how it can allow editors more control over site functionality.
Target audience: Developers, Creative.
Level: Intermediate
