It's been about a week since I attended the Mura CMS training seminars, and my brain is still numb from all the new stuff packed into it. I only managed to catch the "Back-End Developer" portion of the series (there is also an admin/user and front end development seminar), but after my experience I'll definitely be following up with those two sessions as well. The developer session was presented by Matt Levine, chief architect and developer of the Mura CMS.
As a brief sidebar in my Advanced Plugin Development series I'm going to explore the PluginConfig and PluginApplication objects, two very essential components in developing your Mura plugins. The "best practices" methodology of accessing PluginConfig has also recently changed, so if you are developing plugins there are a few important bits of information in here. Also, make sure you've read or have a copy of the programmer's guide to Mura CMS handy as I'll be referring to that document occasionally.
After many requests (and a few promises) I am finally putting together a series of blog posts on building a complex plugin for the Mura CMS. Plugins are basically stand-alone applications that take advantage of Mura's extensibility hooks to integrate themselves into the CMS and web site. This feature set has matured greatly over the last year, and allows developers a great deal of latitude over how they can achieve this and in what tools they can use. This series of posts will be as much about building the plugin as introducing developers to the many facets of Mura extensibility.
